Does the 6mm refer to the diameter of the shank and thus the hole that is drilled in the panel?
If so, the shank on the mag switch used on an Aquilla measures 11.7mm. (12mm hole, with tag to stop rotation)
The switch used by Solo Wings is branded as "Chily 7011". (20A 250VAC)

I"ll try and upload a pic in a minute. Let me know if any other sizes are required for this switch.

Thanks, i am interested in the toggle itself, the unit displayed is the standard 6mm lever diameter, no problem.
