I may be overthinking this, but I don't see why it wouldn't function as is, with a lighter spring detent. If it trying to cock sideways, a thin strip of flat stock the right width and thickness and a touch of SuperGlue under the safety slider where the piece used to set might be a temporary fix to give that side of the slide support. If it worked OK, a strip of Brownells 300deg Silver Solder could be added.
