TR2/3/3A TR3 Dist Pedastal Tachometer Attachment?

There seems to be an "intermediate piece" that threads between the brass cylinder on the pedastal and the fitting on the tach cable. I'm missing this piece and neither the manual or Moss catalogue seem to show it. Must be a separate piece from the pedastal as there are threads to screw it on. Anyone have a pic and know where I could buy this piece?

I guess it's in there somewhere:

So the brass portion is a two piece thing (that does sound somewhat familiar) and the piece you lack is the one that screws into the aluminum ferrule of the cable?
 
The SPC lists it as Stanpart 60246 "Screwed end, rev. counter bearing"; so it was available separately at one time. But TRF, Moss UK, Rimmers & Canley Classics all show it as NLA. If they don't have it, likely no one has.

Shouldn't be too hard to turn up a used one, though. I'd offer, but I'm already way behind on digging through the parts stash, and maybe you'll find one closer to home. And I've seen the entire pedestal assembly go for under $25 on eBay.
