Im not familiar with your model but can tell you that 90 percent of the time, you need to make up slave pins to "pre assemble" the trigger unit with a slave pin that has a nice tapered edge on the end that will "find" the frame hole as you tap in the frame pin or push through the frame screw. When atempting anything like this, folks need to take pictures of each assembly as it moves from the main frame. Back tracking reassembly is made more tolerable. In the pre digital days, you took notes and drew diagrams! If your near mid state NY, drive over n we'll put her together.
