'68 Coronet reverse lights ... HELP !!

[65-440]

Alright, real close to finally driving this car. I have no reverse lights. Neutral safety switch is a 1 wire unit, reverse lamp switch is on the column. The problem is the tab or whatever it is that contacts the switch on the column is missing. Can this be found and replaced? any alternative fixes ??

Had the same problem as the original pin is plastic and had broken off.I used a "tension rod" from my sons spare drum set, stainless steel #12-24nc measuring overall length 2". I was able to turn the tension rod an estimated 1/4" firmly into the hole and has never come loose.Should be able to find in a music store selling drum kits and accessories.
