E29 Outhaul Upgrade

The outhaul car slide on my E29 binds under load, so it is almost impossible to adjust the foot tension. Has anyone upgraded their E29 outhaul? If so, do you have pictures so that I may copy your work? Thanks.

Perhaps a photo would help? I suspect that there are at least two variations. The e29 manual shows cars and blocks inside the boom, but mine just leads to a small 2:1 on the outside. It's pretty wimpy. Also the custom triangular clew shackle is long gone and I just use something I found at WM that "sorta" fits. In fact, I've started to think about looking for a replacement for the whole boom.
