transparent forward aftermarket clickie - see how it works

[yellow]

have a little modding project here and plan to fit an aftermarktet clickie into the wide tailcap.
As I just got the switches with transparent body, see how it works

1st of all: I am used to ones, that have the clickie mechanism under the connecting part, maybe thats why they usually all are reverse ones?
Here this sits just at the top, under the black cover (was not able to get it photographed and thus skipped it)

Pic one: disengaged, see the 2 brass parts to screw the wires into and the copper ring to close connection
pic 2: slightly pressed, copper starts to move
pic 3: pressed in far enough to close connetion --> forward clickie. Needs some push more to engage
pic 4: engaged switch
pic 5: finally disengaged one

where did you get that from? I have been (kind of) looking for a similar clicky switch for a project I am doing.

its nothing special as I think (except for having the body transparent with these)
