Does anyone have information about where I might be able to source parts to repair this please? Attached Images

I've looked at the parts referenced in the thread, but can't find the splined shaft that the winder fits onto, anyone know where to find one, if they are available? Otherwise I'm on the lookout for a complete regulator.

There are several. Just had a look as you suggested Bill, thanks for that. Have a pal who is visiting his daughter in Kansas soon, will see if she can order one for him to bring home for me. He's already arranged for a couple of parts to be there when he arrives.
