Starter button assembly

I'm in the process of re-assembling a 1966 dream 305. I took the starter switch off to change handle bars and noticed a frayed wire where it is soldered to the contact board. I did not notice a part like a speed clip when I took it apart and don't know where it goes. Does anyone have an exploded picture or a link where I can see the proper assembly ?
Thanks

Here's a pic of assembled starter switch that might help...I ended up soldering a short piece of wire to back of contact plate and to old wire back beyond the cut-off frayed part...then shoving excess wire back into handle bar. Button works by grounding the contact which is always hot, so if frayed wire contacts inside of case the starter will run whenever you turn on key. This is on a cb77, probably pretty much the same on a Dream.
Not sure what you mean by "speed clip."

Thank you for the picture and quick response. The part I'm having trouble with I believe goes under the piece that is screwed down to the housing, but I don't know how. If I can figure out how to post pictures, I'll take one of the clip I'm not sure about. If it is OK PM you, I can send a picture that way.
thanks again, Dreamer2
