T.Mi.42 Restoration advice

Hello.
I have purchased a INERT tellermine 42 from a fellow Bocn member.
I wont recive it for a few weeks but just want to do some research before it arrives.

The pressure plate is rusted and has a rust hole or two. However rotates freely.
The fuse cover is rusted tight but the rest of the body appears to be in good condition.

Is there a good way of removing the pressure plate without causing damage?

What thread size is the bobytrap fuse pockets?

Does anyone have any advice on restoing this type of mine?

Regards
Bart.

Not sure, the interior looks quite complicated?

The fuze pocket threads are, of course, M10x1.
 
Hi Sudelmuk,
Thank you for the diagram it is more clear than the one I have.
It looks like there is a locking ring that is pressed in to hold the pressure plate.
hopefully it is not spot welded.

Do you know what the thread is for the main fuse cover?
and for the base of the fuse?

Does anyone have any more drawings?

Regards
Bart
