C-Record Syncro II levers

Just need a sanity check that I've got all the parts for these levers, which seem to be Pinarello pantograph C-Record Syncro II from early 90's according to velobase. And if I do have all the parts, is there a secret to getting the ratchet part on the right lever to seat down properly? It seems the springs are in the way, but I don't know how to move them while I'm dropping in the ratchet.

Left lever:



Right lever:




Velobase image. Based on the levers I have in hand, the large plastic washer on the right goes with the left lever, correct? And there's no plastic washer on the right lever, because it uses the brass colored metal washer instead?

The left hand is friction and sets up like older Record shifters. Yours, unfortunately, has the look of a too large cable head stuck in it and those are a true challenge to get out. you might want to check into that first before expending a lot of effort setting it up. Here are some links that might be helpful. I assume the springs on yours are present in the body of the shifter. It's been a while but I've set up a few sets of these and I used some combination of a small flat head screwdriver, sometimes put the sleeve in reverse to hold in place to get the gear insert mounted inside the springs. Boulder bike had a set of inserts for cheap not too long ago if you need a different one.

Thanks for the links! Very helpful. Yes, I've got the springs in the lever body, And based on the pics in the links, I think I've got all the parts correct. I'm prepping this for sale rather than personal use, so I just want to make sure everything is there before I put a lot of effort into getting that cable head out, which is definitely going to be a hassle.
