    SMLE volley sight bead dimensions

    I need to make a repro sight bead for an SMLE volley sight and I don't have an original here to measure.

    Would someone with calipers here, who owns a long lee or SMLE with an intact sigh bead, be able to take some measurements for me?

    I've made a drawing of the dimensions I need.



    A=
    B=
    C=
    D=
    E=
    F=
    G=

    Thanks to anyone who can help

    I suspect F and G are the same diameter (pls confirm?)

    I don't need the tenon length, as I have to make it a little long anyhow so I can rivet it over and file flat.
