I have a ratchet handle but no other parts. Any way to get ahold of all the head parts?

Rebuild kit from Proto should do the trick; comes with everything.

Google "Proto 5454ARK". Take your pick of vendors.

The kits come with springs, pawls, gear assembly, face/tang plate, screws, and the selector switch assembly. Should be all you need.

Is the long-handle ratchet highlighted in this pic the ratchet in question? I googled "Proto 5454a" and this is what I found.
If so, there's a little confusion with some of the comments. It seems some people in this thread are talking about the rebuild kits for the pear head ratchets, which come with springs, pawls and other little parts you assemble in the ratchet.
A rebuild kit for the ratchet pictured below will just be the entire mechanism in one piece and a new retainer clip, I believe. But that's assuming you can get one. I don't know if they do or don't offer kits for these anymore.
If you had to warranty one of these, I think they'd send you their Italian single-pawl ratchet that uses a mechanism based on the Facom design. I'm not sure they make the 5454A style anymore.

You're right SMKS, how embarrassing 
I just assumed pearhead even though the model number doesn't coincide. Those style rats were discontinued a couple years ago and were replaced with the Facom palm control style models. Those kits are still around and the kit number should still be 5454ARK. Don't pay any attention to the pic. Every retailer I've ever seen uses 1 default pic for all the Proto repair kits.

Eh, don't worry about it. At first I thought that part number was a pear head, too, until I started googling it.
