Are you talking about the drill and tap method or what i had mention. which is using the nipple behind the bypass valve?

I have some crappy one that was in one of my cobra's (faze I think it is), but it works well and has a blue reverse glow which actually matches the interior lighting so it will do for now

I'm not. This is for the hobb switch for a KB BAP.
