With some "picture archeology" on Web figure how "BBC" safety-fire plate lock work, is just 2 pins.

[Linked Image]

In the above sketch the pins are draw too small, they are more tall and when out of 9:00-15:00 position prevent the trigger move down.
They support - part with tooth just turn around the barrels.

The CAM in the second gear moves the indicator pin up.

Sculpting it out of steel. Coming along slowly as I've just started welding after not doing so for many years. Would like to cast one out of aluminum next year when I get to it, but I thought I could make one the kids couldn't destroy!

Guys,
on the plans I can see that diameter is 18mm. Is it total diamater (including cover) or just the metal (?) corpse?

Sunrrise,

This (unfinished) drawings (I did in Sketchup) is very imprecise, because are based on a small thumbnail of a drawing posted by an guy in forum.

But in this side view of same drawing - in better size, are measurements that allow you estimate better the tube size.

https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=3617&d=1376535272

But quoting Machot of Heritageflightsim:

"There were also components supplied on a turnkey basis, like the Dunlop Spade Grip, for which there are no formal drawings to be found. In those cases we have to rely on actual measurements taken from surviving equipment."

Machot sell plans of Spitfire (Mk.IX) throttle, but don't know about Dunlop grip, contact then.

BTW - Are free set of Dunlop drawings available, that for an "joystick" grip seems OK.
