Ooh, that sounds like a challenge.... Hmmm....

But seriously, a little more info would be needed. Anyone who knows CAD can model this but it would probably be way off scale, unless you have more info.

Usually, if I am going to model a part to mate to an existing part or mechanism, I use what is called "reverse engineering" and dissasemble the actual part and measure each individual component, model them all in CAD, and then assemble them in CAD.

I had to do this once at a place I used to work , and it came out pretty good... It worked and moved the right way, on the 3D CAD system. That's always a good sign.
