That is correct Sam,

I have a few Lewis frames, it will be this afternoon till I can check if I have a T shaped piece for the safety

After looking again, you have the T shaped piece, but the bottom of your main safety slide piece is bent to the side, that tab fits in the slot on the T shaped piece to engage the safety??

Yes. the bottom of the tab is in the slot, and does move the T-bar. In the first few pictures the angle makes it hard to tell, but you can see it in the last picture. It (the tab on the safety) needs to be adjusted to the rear, and the pointy end that enters the receiver trimmed a bit, so that the T-bar has room to travel all the way forward.
