3-position safety for Brno ZG47?

I have semi-analogous experience with a 2-position Wisner safety on a ZG-47 bolt. It was made a little more challenging for me because I was fitting the ZG bolt to Husqvarna 246 (a really, rough example). The ZG-47 has a unique cut in the firing pin that works with the ZG safety and the ZG cocking piece is intended to work with ZG trigger which engages the cocking piece slightly differently than a standard M98.
If you simply wanted a ZG bolt body to work in a ZG action but with a regular Wisner safety, you could probably achieve it by replacing the ZG bolt shroud and firing pin with a standard M98 firing pin and bolt shroud with the Wisner installed. I haven't tried yet with 3 position shroud yet.

A few years ago I bought a 3-position safety from Pacific Tool and Gauge and had it installed by a local gunsmith on myZG-47. At the same time, I had him install a Timney Sportsman trigger. The combination worked flawlessly.
The safety shipped with installation instructions that includes details of modifications to the bolt body, the cocking piece and the firing pin.
