What is this part circled in red called? Can it be ordered as a generic part and attached to an existing blade? I have one that seems to have melted. I don't have any spare parts or machines to harvest one from.Pinball part plastic tip on leaf switch blade.PNGPinball part plastic tip on leaf switch blade.PNG

you can also make them from nylon rod and either glue them on or use a small self tapping screw through the leaf to hold them on
