I'm working on deconverting a Quartet. It was converted to Punk Shot, and that kit came with 8-way leaf switch Wicos:

As you can see, the operator drilled holes for carriage bolt mounting.. But Quartet originally had flush-mounted Seimetsu sticks. Fortunately the threaded holes for the original sticks were still there under the panel:

The Wico bases from the conversion are in great shape, so I decided to reuse them in a flush mounted configuration. So I designed and 3D printed some adapter brackets for the Wicos:


Those are #10-24 machine screws attaching the brackets to the Wico, and M4s attaching the assembly to the control panel.
Most Quartets I saw in the wild either had black or red balltops, but the Japanese flyer does show a version with color coded balltops (my target here):
