Use some 'down under' ingenuity. Suggestions:

1. Use a washer. Some suppliers provide polymer ones for this purpose. I have never used one.
2. Grind away some of that surplus metal so that there is a cylindrical part of the pivot tube, and swedge the the key in that area.
3. Solder an extra piece of tube to the end of the tube. Rather, solder on an extra piece of rod, and then drill through it.
4. Solder (using 95/5 tin/silver which is reluctant to corrode) or silver-solder a 'blob' (of solder) at the end of the pivot tube, shape it, and drill it.
5. Similar to 4, but use superglue instead of solder.

I have successfully done 3 and both versions of 4.
