I was lucky enough to snag one of these on Ebay recently and thought some of you might want some info on the specs of an original survivor from the 40s. This one was never modified for a Bantam. The pictures are in 4k resolution and have a (cheap) caliper in some of them showing the measurements like width and thickness of an original surviving locking tab, spring, etc. 

Let me know if you want any more specific measurements or images. I'll add them to this Imgur album link and to this first post. This can become a source of info for the future for those needing to fabricate a new locking tab or source a replacement spring online, or just wanting to reference what one looks like without the extra bends from use and time.

Hi Mike, no the fulton 06 isn't commercially available any more.  

You can still kind of get rebuild parts if you have the main housing, but the modern knob is squared and the latch underneath is for a 2" ball, not 1-7/8".  I'm not familiar with what may be necessary to make all that work together.

Unfortunately they come up on ebay, etc. pretty infrequently... at least infrequently enough that I've not stumbled on one LOL
