Parking Brake Sensor

So the brake light on my dashboard doesn't come on when I engage the e-brake...Figured the problem was a sensor or something, and I guess was correct...

I ordered a replacement from Everything Nissan (probably should have done it with Dave B, hopefully he chimes in)...When ordering there were two options...

SWITCH ASSY-PAR
98-01 $6.68 $5.01

Electrical - Chassis electrical - Switches - Park brake warning switch

OR


Park brake warning switch, maxima
97-99 $7.33 $5.50

Electrical - Chassis electrical - Switches - Park brake warning switch


...I ordered the latter...my question is...I think I'm missing a spring or something that attaches to the metal piece somehow (I'm holding on to the metal piece that slides back and forth in one of the pictures)...I remember when Spectrum Sludging the floor of the car like two years ago, that I found a spring and didn't know where it came from...don't really know where that piece is now...

Is there a place where I can order the sliding metal piece with the spring or do you guys think it will come with the warning switch I ordered...(The other picture is of the broken sensor that I believe the sliding metal piece hits and turns on the brake light)

Anybody have a picture of this so maybe I can just get a spring from somewhere and set it up with the pieces I still currently have?...Any help is much appreciated...thanks.

From what I see in FAST, it comes as the whole switch assembly, spring and all.
