need microswitch

[KZR]

I need to replace two microswitches that are in my Porsche spoiler
assembly. The OEM switches are special Burgess V4NS-9100xx, where
x=cannot be read. They are pre-wired, moulded SPDT microswitches w/
peg mounting.

I found a similiar switch: Burgess 0305A 9100403. It has the same body
and switch type BUT the plunger is slightly shorter. The mechanical
actuator in the car does not push the plunger in enough to switch it
reliably. Bummer.

So, I need a another switch.

Any suggestions for online research or ???

Or a small pad stuck to the actuator so that it pushes the plunger in
a bit farther.

The actuator is a sliding rod in a tight space. I don't want to monkey
around too much with the actuator; I would prefer to find a working switch.
