How to do this?

Normally not DR, they are pretty flimsy inside I'm afraid. New one isn't dear.

You're right, it's very, very difficult to detect. I've tried to make a pic using a small endoscopic camera, but even that pic doesn't show it clearly enough. Anyway, it - that little slot - is there. It faces forward. Best to use a small torch or whatever light to position the switch correctly.
@ Oddjob If it isn't pulled, it works, so I may give it another try tomorrow.
Oddjob:
The slot on the switch is closest to the bars

By 'bars' you mean the handlebar, right? Are you sure? Even with glasses my eyesight is not good enough.
Oddjob:
Just checked my newly restored switchgear and can confirm that the slot that the little tag on the clutch switch goes into actually runs all the way along the flange which holds the clutch lever. It's at 90 degrees to the housing and carries on a little past the hole where the clutch switch passes through, so either way will work, facing directly out or facing directly in. On the assumption that dirt and crud will accumulate more on the inner part of the slot I'd fit with the tag facing outwards, mines facing inward but mine had just been blasted and ceramic coated.
