Calling all A/C experts!

After several attempts to get the A/C on my '86 Carrera working we have run into a problem I have not seen in any thread on this board. We diagnosed that the A/C temperature switch was bad but when we put the new one (Porsche OEM) in (works great) we found it to be 1/8" larger in height. We sourced 3 switches and they were all the same size.

The height difference creates a fit issue in the console. It is too tall for the shaft to fit through the factory hole correctly. Modification to the console will make the installation look like crap so we are stumped.

Is there a brand of switch that will fit? Is there a console we can change to? Clean modifications we have not considered? Are we doing something wrong? We are open to any good solution.

Thanks
