You can see the shaft that slides thru the body if you look closely at the pic
You need an arm from a VS or VSB
Call rivers end or swe they usually carry parts and have em on hand
If not try Fishermans headquarters in NJ, awesome customer service and one day turn around when i sent my VSX in to be fixed
