I believe this is what you are looking for. IMA has them here in the US at 3 for $25.

www.ima-usa.com/product_info.php/products_id/1206.

I can send you the measurements but purchasing the item is much easier than making one.

I have some general questions regarding zero posts. When did the Mk 1 come into use ? in practice, how are they used /

Thanks very much.

I kept looking after I posted this and found a thread on zero posts that answered a lot of questions. Just one more--it seems as if some kind of zero posts were used as early as 1917. Does that infer that the Mk 1 is Great War vintage ?

I'm not sure. It may be covered in the Lists of Changes but I haven't got that information at the moment. The Mk. I remained the same design throughout.
