Not sure why it took up the whole page. And not sure exactly what this fits. Looks to be very similar to apfsds' example. PM if interested.
 
Cool seeing the pic above from my collection. Rick, I just emailed you a bunch of pictures of mine off the projectile with some measurements if you want to compare your fuze cover. Mine is from a 5"/38 CAL projo.

You need to post a Falcon thread.
