ITM titanium barends

Dirt Disciple
I recently bought those on eBay:






In fact, I got burnt: they were advertised as NOS, but I did not double check and of course, they are not : they are missing all their mounting hardware! Partly my fault because I should have been more careful with the pictures; NOS = complete and usable for me, but not for some f*ckers... Of course, seller is giving me the silent treatment.

Anyhow, can somebody help me about those? I searched for a picture of the complete set so that, at least, I can see the parts I'm missing. They may look like some small expanders... there are no threads in the barends, only smooth holes. I never saw any barends fastened to the bars using this system; I'd like to know more, even if I can't use them.

Might use a similar system to the old Thomson stems with a curved wedge (if that makes sense) that gets pull tight against the bar.
 
Re:

Not wanting to get your hopes up but have you endlessly Googled ITM's back catalogue? I'm thinking of ITM Hooks or something similar, but I think they had a thread. Or have you tried emailing ITM. Manufacturers can be helpful.

Apologies if this isn't any help.
 
Why didn’t you just make a claim and case against the seller ? eBay would’ve refunded you and most likely if the seller doesn’t respond - you keep the item too - I’ve had this as has my mate
