When I was a pup, I seem to recall toggle switches which had an
extra long threaded barrel for thicker panels.



How thick? The problem with toggle switches like this is inside that
barrel the other end of the toggle that moves the contacts gets longer as
the barrel gets longer, so it's hard to get one really long....which is why
marine switches with really long barrels are push-pull switches.

Take a look through the 478 power toggle switches at Grainger:

Sorry about the wordwrap...just glue it on the end.
