Beets,
the only difference in the two switches is the brass plunger within. The Hi/lo and spotlight switch have a plunger with a rounded point. the directionals have a plunger with a groove across the center of the point which allows it to sort of click into position on the center switch bar and not complete a circuit. The off position. You can change the plunger or modify the one you have.

Where can I find a plunger with the groove? I would rather replace than modify.

I took the switch apart for the first time and found a groove as RUBONE described.
I aligned the plunger correctly and now the switch clicks as it should. I think a PO had it apart and didn't align the groove.
Now to find a 6V flasher.
