the plastic/threaded part can sometimes break so just pulls off in your hand and its NLA - part number 9286134330070B

a nice cheap fix i made:

remove the center plastic part with the picture on it- it just pops out with a small screwdriver and remove any remnants of the plastic threaded part so it now looks like this


then you need a couple of washers, an M4 bolt, cut to approx size , and the main part that gave me that lightbulb moment, the brass end off a spark plug.
I remember making sure they were tight when i fitted spark plugs years ago but all plugs now come with them integral to the plug, so had to find a vintage car parts supplier who had then in stock which makes me feel depressingly old.... anyway, all as below




fit the large washer in the groove in the middle of the rubber pull, needs to be a tight'ish fit, try NOT to lubricate it, and the small washer fits on top of the large washer




then screw the bolt into the plug end and tighten it, TINY amount of loctite on the bolt.
the bolt has to screw into the plug end 50% max, so the other 50% then screws onto the actual switch




best to put a small amount of your favourite bond around both sides of the large washer to stop it moving, but not essential.
pictured below a genuine one and mine to check how far the threaded part should stick out



refit the cap removed at the start and thats it for the next 30yrs

hope this helps someone
cheers
