3. Parts hard to find. The boot is reproduced, the small springs can be procured locally, but the large bottom spring is all you get, donÂ’t lose it.
5. DonÂ’t know
4/6. IÂ’ve got diagrams and adjusting instructions somewhere. The bolt is part of that. I will try to get you copies.

Mine worked great after I replaced the lining and adjusted the clearance.

Thanks for all the helpful feedback. I'm looking forward to seeing the diagrams and instructions. I'm still surprised by how little information is available on this system. Do you remember where you saw the boot reproduced? I haven't been able to find a single reproduction.
