I thought about that possibility. What I worried about is buying a working used retractor but wondered about whether the plastic piece could be cracked or brittle and taking it apart would cause it to break or not. Do you think that is a concern?

Edit:
Just got off the phone with Paul. I'm going to buy a used retractor from him and see if I can extract the plastic cylinder to use for my assembly.
