Caster Assembly

I am almost certain that I have seen an illustrated parts breakdown for the Mark V caster assemblies but I cannot find one. I don't even have documentation on the caster assemblies that I bought which really seems unusual to me.
But, the real reason for this post. Is there a parts list for the caster assemblies. I need the rod that the lever handle and the cams are mounted on.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can't you just make one out or cold rolled steel?

Thank you, Rob. This will go on my want list as a filler item for my next SS order.

I maybe could but my going bid price for labor is $45/hr.
Engineers don't work for meals! Would it be worth it?
Actually, I worked a kludge job on the caster assembly and may not need a replacement rod.

At that rate why not just buy the whole caster set new?

If someone would hire me at that rate and at my age, I probably would.
I'd probably also buy a new Mark 7 equipped by a pair.

Length, hole location. flat locations. Other than that, a piece of cake!

Dusty, I may have an extra drive rod laying around. Let me know if you want me to look.
