Bofor No 251 fuze question

I have a loose fuze with some of the parts. I have found a diagram but not
an exploded view of all the bits inside. The part marked A I cannot locate
in the diagram or in my sectioned dexample. It almost looks like the top
of B if that has a press in component. A looks like it holds a percusion cap.

I’ll be able to help you out Gordon, but give me a little time, just a bit busy today. Someone may sort you out in the meantime.

Gordon,

I've looked at several drawings and cutaway 251s I have and I can't see any component that matches the size, diameter and thickness of your part A. I don't think the detonator pellet was contained in a holder or sleeve like that. How sure are you that it is a 251 fuze component?

I'm not, but it seems to have come with one ? Maybe it is part of the tracer ingniter ?
