7 Tooth Steering box question/request

Hello All-
Lacking a parts diagram or "exploded" view illustration, may I ask exactly what goes inside the 7 teeth steering box (except the steering shaft and worm, which is present, and works fine) ?

What I have out of the steering box so far is the 7 teeth Sector gear, and the Sector Thrust washer. I assume of course that there would be some kind of bushing/bushings in the box ( where the long end of the Sector shaft inserts through ).

Is that it, or did I leave out any other part ? I have the cover with the adjusting screw as well ( sector thrust screw I believe ).

I can't seem to find a diagram showing the bits and pieces inside. Maybe someone can please provide me with an "exploded" parts view of what and how the little parts interact with each other, like what goes where. Thank you !

ALEXISKAI & KATY -
Thank you both for the parts assembly diagram. Big help for sure. Just can't identify part #1, is it a lock (circlip ) ?? I've seen this picture/parts list page from Brattons, but totally missed the diagram...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to modify the housing by counterboring if you want to use an o-ring?

Well, not necessarily. While it is definitely better to chamfer the edge of the housing with a large countersink tool, you can also press the sector bushing into the housing by 0.030 - 0.040 further, and this gives a small counterbore for the 0-ring to seat into.
