Therses a few of those about. Very like the Aveling ones but the bell seems bigger.

Right
Here is the guts of my bell In my opinion 95% of the components are simply made out of sheet material. Mine is brass, but I would suggest water cut stainless (or steel) a better option. The rest is lathe work and drilling holes. Leaving the problem of the bulbous striker. I have drawn round the internal components of my bell. And am happy to fire a 1:1 scan of these templates to anyone who wants one via e-mail (for free). Chris is having a copy already. You will have to live with my humour on the sheet, and mixed imperial and metricated dims. I have agreed to convert my bell section into a pattern to take to my tame foundry to cast Chris one in Brass (assuming this can be done without butchering it). I am also happy to take orders for more 'bells'. These will cost more or less whatever it costs me to get them done. I can't give a price presently, but my foundry is not in the business of ripping people off. Any interest in some bell castings?, plus the templates? you can then make your own bell.

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.
