CZJ Flektogon 2.8/20 aperture repair

Hi all

Recently received an old flek where the aperture mechanism had been attempted fixed. Unfortunatly the lens was put back together rather poorly (aperture blades literally fell out when i opened her up). I've attempted to restore it to its former glory, but with little knowledge on CZJ lenses in general and few resources available on this specific build, I've found myself a bit stuck.
Is there anyone who has the flektogon 20mm f2.8 who have any experience with this part of the assembly? Any tips (pictures of fully assembled mechanisms, blueprints, etc.) would be greatly appreciated!

I'll be happy to upload some images if people are interested, just let me know.

Hi Smitten, I could give you a hand, virtually. Reassembly of the aperture isn't that hard, you just need a little patience. For a start could you post a couple of pictures of the state the lens is currently in?
