CUJO, I think I may still have the original linkage arm for mine and no use for it. If I fnd it you are welcome to it. No Charge. Not sure it will work with the Offy pivot arm however. I have a new unopened Offy kit available too if you need more parts.
As for the braided line it can be had at nearly any speed shop or implement supplier. Also online from dozens of outfits like Summit Racing, etc.
Hang in there man.
