Ithaca M37 ambidextrous safety catch

Looking at my ambidextrous safety again, I decided to try a slightly different approach. Using R/C model car ball joints (that have a convenient 2.5 mm allen socket and 3mm thread) I fashioned, a piece of 1/4" steel rod to  allow/deny trigger movement then drilled and tapped for the levers. It works fine, the original detent spring and plunger ensure positive positioning, small indents give nice click stop. I will round off the steel ends after live testing. Using this design, the length and shape of the levers can be altered to suit and conveniently the catch can be removed from the trigger guard without dis-assembly. (the original M37 safety is the first piece in the assembly and the last out when stripping down) Rather than push through, this is rotating, down for safe, forward for fire and the catch on either side is felt by the trigger finger when in safe and naturally pushes forward so eliminating those 'doh!' moments
