Managed to get a new ratchet wheel from Cousins.
But also found this:

Does anybody know where I could get a new stem as you can see this one is twisted. Cousins are saying it isn't available anymore.
Or has anybody any guidance on 'untwisting' this.

I rather think that you will find it is supposed to be twisted.

ETA used a similarly helical stem on the 2783, there is a discussion about it here.

I don't think that yours has become twisted through abuse, the amount of torque required to do this would almost certainly have caused the stem to have sheared, probably in the threaded section.

That's very welcome information, thanks.

In fact I should have checked the drawing more closely.

Thanks again.

Thanks once more Marc for that link, it's very similar to the 12824.
