Just bought a 1984 Mirage 30 last fall and got the mast up yesterday. Missing a part to attach the boom, properly. Anyone have a diagram of how to attach the Mirage 30 gooseneck assembly to the mast. Also a description of the lines inside the boom and how to use them>

My Mirage 24 has a "T-shaped" track (almost a foot long) that rests against the mast. The track is made of plastic with a density between polyethylene and phenolic. The track is soft enough so a set screw on the boom can dig in the track and hold the boom at the desired height. The vertical portion of the letter "T" is about 9/16 inch wide. The top of the "T" is about 7/8 inch wide. The total height of the 'T" is 3/8."
There are counter sunk holes along the track for flat head machine screws. The screws go through a slot in the mast and tighten through cylindrical nuts that are drilled and tapped through the diameter of the nuts.

Sorry I don't understand computer technology well enough to send a pic.
