Hi,
Thanks Marc for this post, really useful.

However, I would like to relocate the power switch on my Iron Maiden, but the hole dedicated to the tournament button is a little bit less than 24mm.
I cannot find a rocker switch for this size, all of them are for a mounting hole 20 or 20.2mm

Any idea where I could find such switch ?

Quoted from fxdwg:

FYI, you are actually looking for a DPST (double pole single throw), this allows the switching of two circuits, but only two positions. (therefore 4 terminals. 5 if its an illuminated switch.) DPDT switches actually have 6 terminals, and have 3 positions on the switch itself... normally ON - OFF - ON
these are all DPST, non-illuminated 20.00 mm switches from the digikey site...

Yeah, but the diameter is too small (20mm, where the mounting hole on newest Stern is 24mm).
Also, I thought SPST was also doing the job by connecting only 2 wires as shown on the first picture, am I wrong ?

Here is the tournament plug from my Iron Maiden.
