The best I found was a really crummy picture that I have on Picasa. Use the maginfying glass to zoom in and then imagine that you see:
The line goes from the clew back to a block on the boom.
From the block it goes forward to a small cleat.
Ignore the line that looks like it is wrapped around the boom over the outhaul, I think that was just to keep it from hanging down in the cockpit.

There is no mechanical advantage in the setup but if the line had gone aft from the clew on the other side it would have given a 2:1.

I recently added a new outhaul to my E23.
I will post pictures later this week.
I used the 4:1 external cascade setup from the Harken outhaul system web page

I wish you success.

Looks familiar.
Back in the mists of time, when we were sailing a fractional Ranger 20 with a large main, I added a cascading outhaul tackle. It made a huge difference in trimming that sail.

"Lance Cleats" have a somewhat curved ss base and were a pretty good fit on the small dia. boom on my Ranger.

Be sure you order the one for the chosen side that lets the line drop down into the cam....

I have either driven blind alum. pop rivets, or filled flush with thickened epoxy. One other cosmetic fix was to use some small plastic flush-plugs from the hardware store. Or, just ignore 'em.

If you mean lance cleat size, I am remembering that it was the one for a 3/16 or 1/4" line. Basically a small size.
