Are you sure that the metal piece is missing? On the
battery cage, there should be only one metal piece and
it's on the side facing the right (batteries up
position) The newt makes electrical contact directly
with the battery's negative terminal, so there is a
"hole" in the battery cage for the spring in the Newt
to make contact with the battery directly.
If the metal piece sticking out on the right side of
the cage is missing, it's an easy enough job to
substitute a piece of aluminum foil. It just slides in
and makes contact with the positive battery position
in the battery cage.
Check your existing cage before you have to
unnecessarily spend money you don't have to.
