I wonder if I'm missing a part - even with the thumbscrew cranked down and the steel plates coarsely sanded, the rear der doesn't want to stay on the biggest cog. From outside to inside I have: the thumbscrew, a decorative disc, a steel disc with a leg that hooks into the bottom disc, the lever itself, and the bottom steel disc w/a square hole and another hole to engage the leg of the top disc. This is one of the long armed shifters, on a 69 Paramount. Are these the parts I should have or is there another disc somewhere?
