I've been inside the surge brake set-up on multiple 101a2s. I can't for the life of me picture the metal "guides" attached to the rod and spring that push on the master cyl. Anyone know off hand if a pic has been posted of the inside parts?

This is what I was looking for.lunette parts.jpg

Seems that "tower" that the shock and push rod attach to, has been destroyed on the one I just got. In all the parts diagrams in the TM and on the trailer supplier pages, that part is not numbered as an available part! Looks like I will have to pull one out of one of my trailers and fabricate it on my own.

Here are a few pics of one of mine.

That middle tower part is 2 pieces that are opposite, and welded in 3 places(each side).

I'd assume it is part of the lunette assembly(for replacement).
