That's all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.

I printed my own in 1:50... tiny little things, they needed super fine wire and teeny little LED chips to work:

I have used these with good success. Mount into a 3.5mm tube and insert a 3mm LED in the other end.
