'85 380SL Throttle Linkage

Does anyone have a good photo or drawing of the throttle linkage for the '85 380SL? Specifically, where the throttle shaft is attached to the firewall hub. There is a spring, washer, bushing & bearing (I believe).

My shop manual shows the assembly, but the photo quality is poor. The parts must have come loose and fallen off. I still have the shaft and spring, but nothing else. I do not know what it looked like to begin with, so I don't know what it should look like once I reassemble it!!

Thanks in advance.

All there is on the firewall is a recess and a hole. The shaft goes through the spring, through the bushing into the hole. The shaft gets pushed further through the hole until it can be similarly inserted into the cast aluminum recess on the intake. The manifold end has a bracket that grips the boss on the manifold if the shaft tried to move backwards.
