Just done the true bypass/LED mod to my Crybaby GCB95...

...but the switch is shorter than the one I replaced so I can't actually toggle it!

What can/should I do? Is there (a) an obvious way to reduce the gap between top of switch and underside of treadle? (Currently considering adding something lumpy under the treadle).

Or (b) do I chastise myself for being too impatient, source a longer switch and do it again?

If (b), any ideas where to get one? 

Thanks :)

    Glue a small rubber grommet into the recess on the underside of the treadle.

    Thanks. What sort of glue would work on the metal casing?

    Epoxy or superglue at a guess.
