If worse comes to worse,  it should be pretty easy to "recreate" it,  
there are shop manual pictures as a starting point, (think I have one 
someplace) and by measuring the dimensions using an actual bell crank 
you could determine where the contact flats should be.  The angles of 
course, are known.

So getting a clear, large pic.. and hopefully one including more than 
one view of the tool,  a little Trig,  and you'll have your dimensions..

Wow.. a great idea!  Sad to hear the owner is no longer with us.. hope 
someone continues to maintain and develop it.  With the scarcity of Alfa 
tools, it would be great to have a resource like this for those able to 
make or willing to contract a batch...  I didn't even know they had a 
trailing arm bush pusher..  THAT sure sounds like one I'd like to 
duplicate!!
