XTR 960 spares?

[Canuk]

I can pick up a 960 rear derailleur for cheap, problem is there's no jockey cage (or wheels) to go with. Seller assures me it's all in good working order. Anyone know which cage will fit? Or anyone have one that's taking up space in a drawer ?

Shimano tech docs should give you alternatives and part nos

As a rule it'sa pita and you're better off getting a complete derailleur, but if you enjoy a challenge...

I'm sure I saw a 9speed XTR r/mech FS the other day with an XT 735 era cage & jockey wheels attached. It might've been here or could have been the 'bay. It caught my attention for that reason hence.....

I thought it would just be insert spring and single bolt to install?

If you've got the right parts, assembly is reasonably straight forward - it's getting the right parts in the first place.
The cages are easily mangled in use. The rest of the derailleur is reasonably robust.

I did see something along those lines too, but can't remember where.
