Farmall 460 TeleDepth Linkage Conversion

About a year back, a friend picked up a very nice, original Farmall 460. Had the old cable style feedback linkage, which I got freed up and working again...for a while. Cable is now broke, and I am in the process of changing over to linkage style.
Got most, if not all the parts, but 2 things have me stumped:
1. The pivot bell crank that connects to the lift cylinder and drives the horizontal rod along the left side, doesn't seem to have a way to attach to the rockshaft. Cable drive had a spring and slotted drive piece held in with snap ring. Can't figure out how to mount the new style. Is there something that goes in where old spring and slotted piece was, that this bolts to?
2. Feedback strap bolts to lift cylinder, but the cylinder doesn't have a bolt hole for it.
I see there was a template in original conversion kit. Was this used to locate this hole? Can anyone give me some measurements to locate it please?

Can't find any information about converting this...I suppose these were all done years ago, so not many left with firsthand knowledge.
Thanks guys!
 
The guy you need to talk to is Pete 23, he
is the 460/560 guru. I'm sure he'll post
back any time now. But if not, I've got a
complete 460 and I can probably send you
some photos. You can email me or call at

Thanks for the offer Hugh!
I need to see how the little pivot mounts into the end of the rockshaft. There is nothing there for it to mount to once the cable housing is removed. The bolt and dowel pin don't have anywhere to go....it's all hole in the rockshaft end.

Got the cylinder hole location figured out. Appears to be dead center of the rod.
 
Well, I've taken some photos, if you have a
cell phone, I can send them to you that
way, or you can I can email them, whichever
is easier for you.
