The idea of the connecting link going through the slot in the striker is so that when the lever is first released and has that little bit of free play,it withdraws the striker slightly to stop it from sticking in the primer.The design is ingenious but takes a bit of playing with to get right.
That’s exactly right.
The pins we made are just the turned piece and the slot and undercut will have to be machined for the connecting link to pass through.
Hopefully the broken pin is present so the slot can be replicated.
I suspect the the slot is fairly standard though.
