The feelers are the two curved pieces of metal that sense contact. Rather than aluminum, I would use something with more spring to it, such as music wire of about 0.02inch diameter (about 0.5 mm). Notice that the wire needs to be fixed to one of the PCB pads. Music wire is solderable.
Don't know whether music wire translates for you. It is high carbon wire that has been pulled to give it high tensile strength. It is quite springy and is used a lot in models. John
