cannot use reserve: electrical short found

[maximus speedicus]

Hey, guys. So a couple times I have gone 100 miles without filling up. then the red fuel light would come on. So I would throw the switch to reserve (left since letters are worn out) and it would sputter and give all kinds of hell. But thanks to this forum I deduced it was a short somewhere in the fuel reserve wiring. Thankfully I found a wiring diagram in my search and a how to on how to find this particular short. Needless to say this forum is awesome.

Which leads me to today's discovery...the short I found was in the switch itself. It was easy to spot with the obvious wire dangling. Trouble is, I have no idea where to re-solder it to. Just to the right of the main fuel wire? Under and to the right? On one of the brass rivets?
