Great, because I need this part too.
Do you know the part # for the switch itself?
Also, is the bracket the wire form gate goes into available somewhere?

Not sure about switch and bracket part numbers sorry. I just handmade a bracket from reference pictures.
I think I used a switch like this, long so you can cut to size:

I had a spare switch mount like this I think? (not perfect but can make do):

Wow thank you so much. I couldn’t find it on their site at all! I can’t believe I never noticed mine was missing! I gotta take a look under mine and make sure the bracket is there.

Do you the dimensions of the bend that you used for that Marco gate on the micro switch (e.g. how long is the flat before you crimped off the 90 degree)? Mine gets "stuck" in the upright position: The pressure of the leaf spring jams the gate if its flipped up too high. And since I'm asking questions, did you put a rubber damper under the wings where it attaches to the plastics?
