E.S.Mi.Z.40

Hello again! In this case I am not asking for help to identify something...
A couple of years ago I got a pair (incomplete only the bakelite piece) of E.S.Mi.Z.40. I'm looking but have never found the three-pronged fuse. My intention is to reproduce both the base and that piece. I saw this message https://www.bocn.co.uk/threads/e-s-mi-z-40.22001/ but it seems that the person has died, I also sent an email to fieldgear but it seems that the email address is disabled and the message is from 2008!! I don't think it's appropriate to reactivate such an old post.

My question is, is there anyone who physically has these pieces? I sent a message in January to the "Nationaal Military Museum" in the Netherlands but they have closed the consultation section until further notice and I have left halfway through requesting the data...

If anyone could help me with the measurements I would greatly appreciate it!

The photo is what I have....

Thanks greetings!
 
How are you going to make the three prong piece, machine or cast the part. I have made the brackets the mine sits in.

Hello BMG50! The idea is to turn the one that looks like the S. MI. Z. 35 and the base where the Bakelite piece is screwed I wanted to make by casting and turning the thread.
That's my idea (in the idea it turns out very well....) in reality it will be something else....
 
The three pronged bit doesnt screw to the igniter part with safety pin thats threaded, the threaded part on this screws to the top of the bakelite shipping cap.
 
Hello, the translator has done his thing... he has translated something wrong....

Yes, I do know that the lid is threaded to the actuator of the "S. MI. Z. 35" and thanks to the safety pin and the internal shape of the Bakelite central piece, the lid can be assembled and disassembled. What I do not know are the three holes in the lid (would it be to be able to use the Bakelite lid as a base and be more sensitive to weight?)

The one that is similar to an S. MI. Z. 35 I will make it with the lathe. And the one that holds the central Bakelite body (the one that contains everything, glass bulb mechanism...) will be made by casting and the thread will be machined.

I only have the data I can get from the parts I have. The metric of the Bakelite cover, the metric of the thread of the large piece of Bakelite (where the S. MI. Z. 35 is attached) and the thread pitch of the piece that is attached to the spike.

Sorry for the translation.
 
Heres what you need to complete a section,

Hello BMG50! Thanks for the photos, I was more or less clear about the missing pieces, from the searches I did online. The problem is that I can't find any technical drawing with the measurements of the pieces.
As I told you, my idea is to build the missing pieces.
 
Thanks BMG50, I put a pdf of a drawing (made quickly) I really need all the measurements... that's why I said about the technical drawings... Anyway, all the measurements that I can compile are welcome!
Thank you!
