hi dave, you are right.

i picked up several of each size spring-rings and pins at the tsc last year, but didn't look for the other bits.

the small parts i'm gonna look 4 are INSIDES for the grease zerks, and an ocl lug and u bolt 4 the frame bracket.

crispy, as ron notes those 'locking collars' keep the jacks attached to the frame brackets....

u can see some pix of them in position, in jim clarks' excellent install (post 203) and in breakaways' pic in post #239...

the ultimate haha users guide...

in initially i worried that they would loosen during travel, but have had no issues with them,

but i do still check tightness with the supplied allen wrench.

they've not been an issue, probably because i'm carrying spares.

cheers
