How do you install the ejector ?

I bought a replacement ejector from Numrich so I could keep my original #58 ejector in reserve. I rarely shoot this 1918 Erfurt, but don't want to risk damaging critical parts, so I'm replacing them. I had difficulty getting the middle lug to seat deeply enough, so I filed a bit off the leading edge ( a little at a time until it would enter). It never did enter completely, bows out in the middle, and won't seat. When I apply pressure to the ejector inside the receiver it falls out. I know this one is probably beyond hope, but is there a recommended brand of replacement? I've never had a problem removing/replacing the original ejector. Snapped right in.
I fit a repro extractor without too much trouble, and it fits fine.
Where can I get a decent ejector without the expense of an original?
