Thanks again for that Eric, think I've found something that might work for me - haven't been able to find the type you have there (Eaton's website is TERRIBLE! 404's everywhere), but have found other equivalents. They're pricey, but that's infinite more options that I had at first!

Eaton is an enormous place.

What numbers on the bushing bracket?

So I guess the Eaton staff recognizes these parts by "shape" rather than model numbers. That was old in 1993, probably absurd today.

I'm thinking more than before that the solution could be to crack open a readily available NC switch and a readily available NO switch and Frankenstein them together.

Or, if we want to be practical, redesign the circuit so it only needs one SPST.
