Like I don't have enough switches on my X9E!
I'm trying to add the Horus stick mounted switch to my M-9 hall effect gimbals.

Before I start machining the Gimbal I'd like to ask if anybody else has had these issues and if so what was the solution?
The Horus stick body has a 4mm bore. The M-9 has a 5mm mounting diameter on the stick, with a 4mm thread from adjusting stick length. OK, so things won't fit.
With the Horus switched stick there is an included mounting stud that has the proper 4mm diameter. The issue is that this mounting stud is to be threaded into the yoke of the gimbal with a 6mm thread. My concern is that there isn't enough edge margin in the gimbal's yoke to allow for this thread. I fear that the yoke will split if one tries to thread it!
Is there enough material in the M-9 yoke to allow for threading the stick stud? Am I missing another solution? I was thinking of reaming the bore of the stick to 5mm but the momentary switch gets in the way. And I can't figure out how to get the wires out of the way.
Right now I'm thinking of pulling the mounting stick stud from the M-9 and turning down the 5mm boss to 4mm. I'll also have to remove the 4mm thread.
I have to say that RC Studio's stick accessories seem to be better thought out than this FrSky Horus switched stick. For one thing RC Studio's wires are of a much thinner gage making it easy to thread the wires down the stick. Also using the longer threaded portion of the gimbal stud seems much more robust.
