That works. I've ground wrenches down to VERY thin cross-section
for just that purpose. Of course, this pre-supposes that you
can get enough "swing" on the wrench between .8" spaced switches
to do the job.
There ARE nut-drivers specific to this task. I've not looked for one
in many years and I had some difficulty finding it then. Don't
recall now where I located it. There is RISK too that the knurled
nuts you have on hand are not fabricated to the same dimensions
as the driver you purchase. There is no doubt a standard practice
form factor for nuts made in the US over the years. But then,
EVERYBODY thinks they can build nuts nowadays. One fewer or greater
peaks in the knurl and the driver won't fit.
This is one reason why I abandoned the use of the decorative
nuts some years ago and went 100% to hex nuts. I have some special
nut drivers which I have smoothed, put radii on sharp corners,
and otherwise polished so that they cannot scratch a panel.

Set the knurled ring to give the desired projection on the front of the
panel, and tighten the hex nut on the back side.

I have some nice knurled threaded switch rings I purchased from B+C. How do
i tighten without scratching off the black finish?
Thx.
