I have a Radical! and I could help you with some pics, but honestly, on page 2-19 of the manual it shows a diagram of how the mech goes together, I'm not sure any of my pics would be any better than that.
If I'm understanding you correctly, and I'm not sure that I am, that is the rod that is pulled down by the coil to snap the diverter down. It's an odd diverter, it's pulled down to snap down, then pulled down again to release.
it's been a while since I worked on this part of my game, if nobody else knows off the top of their head, I could take a look at it tonight when I get home from work.
Quoted from Jobi:I hope I'm phrasing this in a way that can be understood, I will happily clarify or take more photos.
