Pickup Switch?

I've  a PRS CE, which in the main is a wonderful instrument (mostly excellent with a few baffling poor workmanship elements).  However, the pickup switch is in a stupid place (at least for me)!  So I wish to move it, swapping it with the volume pot - it will suit me far better.
Of course the holes are different sizes; fitting the volume in the switch is easy, a simple spacer solves that, but fitting the pup switch in the volume hole would require woodwork; simple stuff I know, but I'd much rather leave it alone.

So my quest: a switch that will fit in in a pot hole - anyone found one?

    Not sure if I've ever seen a 9.5mm toggle switch, but you could either use a mini toggle switch, which would fit a 6.35mm (1/4") hole, so you'd need a spacer or a washer, or you could go with a PRS style rotary switch, that will fit the 9.5mm pot hole exactly, but is a different switching action.

    A DP3T on/on/on mini switch would offer three simple coil permutations. (Typically, neck HB / both / bridge HB.)

    A 4P3T on/on/on switch would enable three complex coil permutations.
