Help! Identify this hardwdare?

Looking for some assistance identifying this hardware. I recently picked up a used Carden Cap 232 and am currently in the process of going through the air frame and making sure it's all in good working order. I'm having trouble identifying these linkages and servo mounts with the output shaft support. I need to replace a few of them and am missing the support and linkage for the output shaft on one of the servos. Thanks in advanced!

I believe you are looking for rocket city Rc hardware. They made stuff a long time ago. Don’t know how to find out if they still exist.

The idea of the support was to keep the servo shaft stable and not move during deflection of the control surface. When bigger planes and bigger control surfaces came about most of the available servos didn’t have metal gears and gears were often stripped during flight with disasterous results. Unfortunately BTDT.
 
Could you post a couple of close up 'front and side' photos of the hardware....I may have something like it I can let you have but can't be sure from your photo

The servo arm and servo center support are from the JR line the rest look like Rocket City hardware . I have used them on several planes with 8411 servos

The JR stuff is actually what I'm missing some of but at this point i'm not sure i'm going to worry about it. I will be updating the servos in the tail and with a modern MG servo I think the center supports are overkill.

In my opinion the centre support works really well and have used them many times. With plastic servo case it really helped but not necessarily with full aluminum cases
