Where do you want this switch, on top of the bowl? Also the flat part is could be narrowed down some, completely flat or not taking much room inside flat?
Screw posts or a variant of one. mod it to suit the size and shape you need....or use a ready made GG
Tap some threads and screw it in

If anyone is interested and either has or can install Google Sketchup (it's free) on their computer I'll PM a .skp file for my version of an opposing rare earth magnetic switch that's designed to be installed in a tube mod (actually any mod really) that'll hold an 18xxx batt. No threading and has a screw-in safety lock out...all you need are 2 cylinder shaped 1/4"x1/4" (6.3mm x 6.3mm) nickel plated rare earth mags, a piece of thin wall 1/4" I.D. brass tube (that the mags will nicely slide into), a long threaded motherboard stand-off and matching knurled computer case screw and 2x 18mm discs of PCB (copper on one side) and some good 2 part epoxy...I haven't built it yet myself (too much stuff on the go) but in theory it should work

Thanks! I will fiddle with this idea, it's damn close to what I was thinking...

How would this be wired up to make a switch
Notsmoking, it's not wired, the case is the ground, the switch makes contact with an isolated pole to the battery negative and the circuit is complete.
Carlton, I get this down to 3mm inside the mod: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/211313-simple-switch-opposing-magnets-safety.html

Yeah I know, I can't edit the original posts after a certain period, but the pics are re-upped in order later in the thread.
Thanks classwife, I was too disappointed with my mistake to ask about it.
Quigs, I meant to ask for that .skp file earlier, could you send me a copy, you had me at brass tubes and magnets.

Cheese whiz! What a great idea! (Imisquoted or something, didn't I?)
It's right here Google SketchUp
It's the free non-pro version (more than good enough), once you play around with it and get good at it it's like crack...I don't make a mod (or build the sundeck on my house) without first building it in Sketchup now
