Default I can not figure out how rigging goes to spreader tips

I purchased a 39.5 foot Kiwi that lost it's spar in a race. Found a replacement spar and went to Los Angles and picked up a used spar that came off a Fast 42 that is almost the same specifications as the Kiwi. It did come with all the rigging, but I am missing some of the hardware, for the lower spreader tips. I can not find any reference or pictures for what I have after many hours of research. If anyone can tell me how this is mounted to the spreader tips it will make my day.

The holes in the turnbuckles are 5/8 and 1/2 in the eye jaw toggle. There is a 5/8" hole in the end of the spreader tip that goes threw to the other hole on the side.
I am thinking there is a clevis pin that goes in the end and is held by a cotter pin, but how does the 1/2" jaw toggle attach.

Default Disco

Hello,
The spreader tips are for a discontinuous rig (disco). You are missing the "dogbone" linkplate. If your original rig was continuous, with intermediates coming to deck, you are also missing appropriate V1 chainplates. Several cans of variables here.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
