Odd question but I am stumped !

[scooby1]

I have what is a very silly question about a problem that is annoying me and wondered if anyone could help me ?
I needed to dismantle a 4 socket plug board that has a switch but when I took the top part off the board the brass connectorthat makes contact with two conduits that when connected complete the circuit flew out and landed on the bench. This is the brass connector.

I have played around for ages trying to figure out how the brass connector is installed. This is an image of the box when taken apart. There is a cap for where the input cables are attached but I didn't include it when I took te photo.

And another image showing where the brass plate goes but I can't figure out it's correct position so that the switch trigger works properly.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Buy a new one, well I would anyway.

The loose brass thing goes on the TOP.

I also wonder if the brass rod from the left (supply), should be down one notch.
So the brass flippy thing rests in the middle cut outs

I would also replace the whole unit. The brass bit is clearly been arcing, so would not want to reassemble it.

Yes, I did that.

Take it apart and see how it works.

It can't be "down one notch" because it is cranked. It eiter has to sit in te bottom or the crank or turned slightly so that it sits in the notches where the read arrows are pointing. But that doesn't work because when the top of the unit is replace the lugs that are shown at the end of the yellow arrows go into those notches.

As written before I have bought a new one but I thought that I would re-assemble it in case I needed another one in an emergency.

Yes, I tried that. Please see my reply to Andy.
