Default Switch vibration question

Now that we've got the reciever out of the way (see the "Silly Idea" thread), I am wondering about isolating the switches.


My electronic ignition switch is mounted up on the cowl, and that thing vibrates.
What are the best techniques (if any) to isolate it from vibes?

Buy High Quality switches, I have never used any special techniques when mounting to reduce vibrations.
Currently I am switching all my planes over to the pin fail safe type switches/regulators from Fromeco. (I like their products)

I may do that.

I use Futaba's heavy gage switches, the ones that are about $15.00.
