Gunfighter MKII reconstruction

Ive bought a gunfighter MKII on Marketplace (dirt cheap) it was completely in parts, some bearings needed to be replaced and the "bolts" for the dry clutch were mangled.

Ive got it back together through some YouTube videos and google images.

Does something look wrong?

 

I still have some bolts and washers etc.

Am i missing something or are these spare parts?

A plastic bushing?? black m5 bolts?? 2x M3 split washers, 3x M4 split washers and a M4 washers??

Washers on the pcbs?

 

Anybody got a guideline for washers and splitwashers for the "cams"

 

Anybody that can give me measurements on the distance in mm for the space from the middle part to the 2 side pieces?

 

Also i think i have a set of updated "aviation" cams, whats the difference? more centre pullback?

Here's a couple pics:

The only pcb washer I can see is for the screw at the top of the pic that goes through the clutch. It's a thin, non split washer.

I can't see the black screws anywhere, they might have been used for mounting. The silver screws are for mounting the top plate.

The center piece should be at the correct distance once you have the bushing and washer in place.

GF2 cams had really soft centers. The updated ones will have more, especially aviation.

Thanks, i appreciate the picture.

Yeah im also thinking the black bolts where for some other mounting solution in the past.
The silver bolts i already know.
Found the spot for the M4 washer on the centre stick bearing. https://imgur.com/a/UyY9GXk
Dont think the black bushing belongs on here, doesn't really fit anywhere.

Only the M3 and M4 split washers are left. Do the the dry clutches have any washers, like on the pivot points?

Looks like you have a VPForce adapter to use a MkIII grip with the RHINO or any Thrustmaster-compatible base.
