I'm looking for a taller 3PDT switch for my pedals that have a lot of knobs, switches etc.  When I'm stomping on the pedals, I usually mash some knobs or flip a switch on accident.  THe tallest threaded portion of a 3PDT switch is 1/2".  I'm looking for another 1/2" or so in height.  Mouser, Digikey, and Mammoth don't have any.  Thanks!

Also, as I've seen once, you could put a "stomper" extension to your switch, like a rubber shirt/cap or something like that.

Bigger enclosure so switch's farther away from the pots and toggles.

I actually did get Alpha to make a 3PDT with a slightly longer bushing for use in Wah pedals:

You could also think about building your smaller designs in a Bare Box #1:

I just ordered one of these long bushing switches last week for a wah enclosure and I kinda wish I ordered a couple more.

You'll see some pedals use these under the knobs:

The smallbear Barebox is pretty awesome too.
