Default deuce front brake switch

Put some new parts on this weekend and noticed my brake light was stuck on. After searching this site I realized I lost the clip that keeps the lever from touching the switch. Got the new clip. Problem is now I cant figure out how it goes back in.
Does anyone have a diagram showing this? I cant find it anywhere.

If I'm correct in my thinking, you lost the spring that goes between the switch and the housing. A little V shaped piece of spring steel.
Just slide the switch into place and then follow with the spring. It is actually a pretty crude set-up, but it works.

Yeah thats what I lost. Its a little v brass looking thing. It does seen like a crappy set up. But I was having problems getting it to stay in there.

If the new one doesn't seem stiff enough, you can spread it apart a bit to make it hold a little better. Kind of a finicky set-up.
