Seth's photo shows a small spring which I don't have. I big sloppy washer that fits o the handle shaft. The shaft of the handle is sloppy in the cross brace. The handle nut has a cast-in collar with is sloppy on the cross shaft hood brace's hole. the collar shows a minor wear pattern on its outer edge, but not enough to effect the side wobble of the shaft.
where does the little spring attach? The triangular piece had to tabs with one hole each that were bent down about 3 inches apart. Currently a short piece of wire coat hanger goes between them. The little spring stretches the 3 inches, it would keep the triangle ears in place. Whaa?

The round plate's ramp is quite worn. Anyone have a spare?
Thanks,
Clem
