That is the emergency kick down lever unit for the main landing gear. It lives on the cockpit floor (under the heel boards) and has a red paxolin/fibre knob. You kick it with your foot which releases the uplocks and voila the wheels should lock down.

You can see it in this photo.
It is to be seen on port side near base of column/heelboard

Thanks.
I thought it lived somewhere in the cockpit.
Now I know where to look in the cockpit photos I have it is clear as day.

I am after a positive identification for a part recovered during the excavation of a Hurricane.
It has the part number A97939 1 on one side and A99616 1 on the other. Its dimensions are 17cm by 10cm
See the attached photos for more.
I have a fairly good idea what it is but want to check all the same.
