Where do you get PCB mount switches that can mount flush alongside 9mm pots on the same board?

What kind of switches? The data sheets will have all the dimensions

Are you talking about board-mounted switches and pots?  Assuming they're at least in the same ballpark regarding depth, then the usual practice is to loose-fit them to the PCB then install everything in the enclosure.  Then you solder.  The lugs on pots or switches are usually long enough to allow a little vertical wiggle-room whilst still having something to solder to.  The alternative approach is to use washers, but this may leave you with insufficient thread on the outside to fix a nut to.
