When you say "bare"...you mean you've got the spar but no fittings at all? Strange...they usually come from Sweden with everything in place.

Spreaders are CF "winglets" with adjusters for rake angle. Ultimately pretty simple setup, but the stock shape is impressively nice. Rod diamonds are spec'd for CF masts in the class rules, though cable could work. Do you have the mast foot? It has the diamond tension adjuster built-in. Boom is pretty usual...gooseneck on the CF mast is a simple stainless fitting that pivots left/right:

Boom forward cap has a solid stainless square-rod that slips into the pivot and secures via single bolt. Some teams have fitted the Marstrom cap to different boom sections like the Tiger (more square...allows for easier internal mainsheet setup).

Check out Marstrom's web store for parts list & most items have good pictures. That is the only place you can find new components. Used, you've got to track down campaign teams.
