I recently purchased a 1994 (Mod 2) C14.2 with a Harken (model 434?) roller furling on it. (I think this is a standard installation.)
After a few times on the water, whatever once connected the tack of jib down to the roller furling drum is now disconnected. So, pulling the furling line spins the drum, but the drum is not pulling in the foot of the sail. Judging by what remains, I think what was holding it together was some of these metal elliptical cotter rings:

If someone could please describe (or show a picture of) the proper method of making this connection, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here is the best picture of my situation I could take. (Sorry it was dark, the marina was closing and my phone's camera lens is shattered.)
Thanks in advance,
Dave ...
