Looking for the oblong yellow target face for TZ slot target. PBR doesnt carry them. Seems like a shame to trash an entire switch assembly over such a small piece of plastic and a rivet.

685: -----6 03-8225-6 tgt oblong stat-op yellow 1
686: -----6 07-6697-4 rivet .125X.187x.218 zinc 1
687: -----6 4700-00003-00 fw .125X.281X.032 1
(The "6" here is the "level" within an assembly; for example, the "A-15658-6 stat tgt-frt mtg95 oblg-op yel" is level 3, and the parts that go into that assembly are one level greater, with each sub-assembly increasing the level.) The rivet is 0.125 inches in diameter, 0.187 inches long, with a head diameter of 0.218 inches; a flat washer ("fw") backs up the rivet.
If you can't find a particular assembly (for example, the entire target assembly) you can use the parts list info to find a sub-assembly that might be available.
