After quite a few times in and out of the chassis, I can practically put 
the RF deck in blindfolded. The cause: 4 broken clamps!  Anyway, I found 
a  source for two part stainless clamps via
WW Grainger for about $4-5 each.  The nice part about the two piece clamps 
is the lack of need to disassemble the gear train to replace a couple of 
them on through shafts. A bit of challenge is to get the old one out but 
I'll leave that to one's imagination. The 5/16" bore two piece stainless is 
stock # 1L714 and the 3/8" bore two piece stainless is 1L715.  The also 
sell a cheaper steel one and one piece for lesser amounts. Obviously there 
is the old standby of Small Parts, but many people might have a Grainger 
closer and easier.
