Tim, I've never been in that switch, but if you're talking about a
small staple-shaped piece that fits into two slots in the moving part
and bridges two contacts on the fixed part to connect them, then
there should be a hole between the two slots to hold a very small
coil spring that shoves the moving contact against the fixed
ones.  Exact specs aren't critical but it has to fit the hole, and be
short enough that you can rest the contact on top of it while
reassembling the switch.

Yours,
David
