Woody,

This series on a 235 rebuild from the Webrodder site seems right down your alley.
Lots of photos. Minimal advertising. Great info. Photos in Section 1 could have helped answer part of your opening question. My intention of mentioning this is FYI, not trying to advertise for their site or sponsors.
