In for this. You going to try to fix them to the buttons without cutting apart your wheel?

Just as a tidbit of information, if any of you have access to a mill, the job can be done a lot more quickly since you can just run the end mill all the way across and around. This can be beneficial for the aluminium paddle piece since it takes a while to shave down, however the work can be done quickly with a dremel on the plastic part. (I decided to use the mill for both).
A stationary belt sander is also useful to shave down the PCB on the paddle switch circuit (just make sure you don't cut into any of the traces)
I also found that using loctite to secure the threads where the bolt goes into the paddle helps prevent it from walking out with vibration. Either that or stake the screw near the head to prevent it from rotating would also work.
