Replacement Klip Rings and Actuating Rod for Reese 16k Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch

Question

Question:

I have a Reese 16K fifth wheel hitch with slide which I think was installed either summer of 2013 or Feb of 2015. I need replacement Klip Rings and a replacement Actuating Handle for the hitch as the Klip Ring holding the Actuating Handle in place keeps coming off. Could you please let me know part numbers for these and if they are available? I cant find a model or serial number for the hitch. The only number I can find is embossed on the pivot beam CMRI 30565 REV 1. Ive attached a couple of pictures of my hitch.
