I'll stick to my dog bowl style bell though thank you Hedd.

Just to note, I think there is a copy of the signalling gong mechanism drawing in one of Gilberts books...
No just going to do the bell. it is 126mm OD diameter if that helps to confirm if your guts would suit.

I do not want to dismantle mine, but I see no reason to, everything is simply made out of flat stock except the striker, and I could carve one of them out of solid with an angle grinder if I had too, so have no doubt Chris could.
