 Off Topic: Need a switch
I finally figured out how I wanted to wire my guitar. I have spent most of the afternoon searching for the switch I want to finish it out. I have exhausted my sources on this. I could use a push-pull pot (seems like over kill) or I could use a blender post (I can't find a 500K one).  
 
The scheme is basically a strat style tone and switch layout on a Warmoth VW Carved top body. 3 buckers (500K pots). I want to have a master tone, master volume, and a switch for the bridge on when I wan the bridge neck combo. I do not want to drill any more holes, or enlarge the ones I have. I have the 5 way and three control knob holes (3/8") to work with. I would LOVE to find a push on/off switch like this ...

But that one is 1/2" not 3/8" and only a momentary switch not push on/off.  
 
The closest I have found is ...

Are there some options I have not hit upon?  
 
If there is no such push on/off switch, is there a toggle switch that has a 3/8" threaded insert that would work?

Try either CEDist (wholesale) or Antique Electronic Supply (retail) and look up part numbers:  
R-VPSH-250KA-SP  
R-VPSH-500KA-SP  
They are 3/8" push-push  
 
Also stock # R-VPP-1MA  
Push Pull 7mm thread

Also look up Mouser # 313-1601-(value)  
Likely values to insert are 100k, 250k, 500k

Thanks The pus-push posts appear to be my best option.
