Go with the pinout as indicated in the first image. In general, the source and drain are interchangeable. So long as you have the gate right you should be good.

I was just browsing at LMS  and saw that they carry clear stomp switch washers

The problem isn't finding clear washers. With a clear regular washer it would be very difficult to get a consistent light transfer without the switch or jack being perfectly centered in the hole, which is just about impossible to do as you tighten it down. A clear isolation/insulation washer is what is needed to keep things centered and keep a consistent gap around the circumference for the light to bleed through.

I was just browsing at LMS  and saw that they carry clear stomp switch washers.  They're 10 for $1, so that might be an easy investment on the next order just to have on hand for the future.

It looks like the caching issues are back. If the hosting got switched then I would guess the caching settings need to be adjusted again.

I've got the cache off (after the switch). But maybe I should run the repairsettings.php that you can use with smf. Lemme see if there's a remaining cahce that can be purged. So annoying.

I'm seeing duplicate posts when someone posts. And it's night two in a row, either, it's several posts down.
