I have an old SVD180 Gouge jig that will not hold setting

I am not the original owner so I don't know if I am missing some parts.  I can tighten the bolt in the swivel after adjusting the 1 to 4 scale as far as I can and it moves easily when in use.  Today I took it apart to see if I could make a friction washer or something and found that will not work as the fit is so tight I had to struggle to pull it apart with the bolt removed.  I did find that there were hollows on the inside of the arm side and I wonder if there were rubber inserts that fit in the hollows to make a no slide compression pieces to hold the setting.  Can anybody check theirs and let me know if my guess is correct?   Ideas?
