I have a Light Systems penlight made around 1990. It seems to be missing a part that allows it to 'click' on and off. Can anyone identify the missing part and know where I could find a replacement part?

Here is what it looks like:

There should be a little stick inside to lock into the ratchet teeth and push the contact (Brass bit) against the battery. Try raiding some clicky pens for one that works.

Thanks! Most of my 'clicky' pens have parts that are too narrow to work in there. I do have a thicker pen that has a part that might work. But the part would require some modification to shorten it a bit. So if I can't find the right part, that is certainly an option.
