Mini Killswitch for 3/4 long shaft Les Paul w/ plate?

I am looking to put a killswitch for my pickups output in my Les Paul. I have the metal ground plate in the cavity and need a mini sized on/off toggle switch with a 3/4 long shaft. I do not want to drill the guitar out so I want to put the toggle in place of my tone knob. I would be leaving the tone knob connected and inside the cavity as I like the sound of the tone pot being all the way up but connected as opposed to no tone pot at all.

Does anyone make a (mini sized visible part) kill switch that has the threading and length of 3/4 inch type that would fit my L.P. ?

I've never seen a long shaft, toggle mini-switch. Probably because it would be mechanically complicated to design (and to sell at a low price point).

Instead you may want to use a push-pull or push-push pot. This way you get to add a switch while retaining the pot where it is supposed to be.

Do they sell toggles with 3/4 length that would fit in the tone pot area with regular sized switches? I also thought about the push pull but used to toggle between the neck and bridge. I would then put the killswitch in place of the neck / bridge toggle. Any thoughts?
