Here you go, measurements from an original:
Extra info: CL R-clip hole is 3mm below top. Hole R-clip and hole M3 tap are 90 deg rotated, like shown on you drawing. M3 hole is not through, obviously. -Lars Signature now gets correct formatting if you edit it in your Profile. Use normal BBcode if you want.

To clarify, is that the very top to top edge of the hole - or very top to centre of the hole? If the hole too is high the body will rattle & I can correct with a spacer, but too low and it won't work at all  |

Well it's done, and any worries I had that I might make something that could end up being passed off as the real thing have been dispelled
 I really need to look for a small drill press I can keep where I can get to it - that and remember that while using a bell punch to find the centre of a round bar is a great idea, you do have to drill that end rather than the other in order for drill bits to go in straight ... 12mm bar cut to length, faced & counterbored with a combination of drill bits 1.5mm to 6.5mm & boring tool: 
Bar reversed in chuck & 8mm step turned; adjustable stop is not standard equipment, it's always in the wrong place & needs a lot of fiddling each time but is very useful: 
4mm step turned: 
Head rotation wasn't quite right so taper had reached the 8mm step before it was long enough 
Taper adjusted (but there's still a slight bulge towards the top), R-clip hole drilled, M3 grubscrew hole tapped, light polish with Autosol:

I would love to learn to use an unimat. My dad has the same and made a lot of pieces with it.
