Step 12Mount the switch
determine where you want your switch. i'm using a funny push button switch.
i mounted mine 3" from the bottom of the box. i drilled a hole slightly larger then the "collar" around the switch into the side of the box. but, as you can see, the switch isn't long enough to go all the way through the box. so i took my 1 1/4" spade bit and bored the hole out on the inside of the box. you've got to be pretty careful when doing this, because you're going to be super pissed if you go all the way through the side of your box. i left about 1/8" of material.
the "body" of the switch fit perfectly into the bored out hole. i put the collar on the outside nice and tight.
