Advice to repair Vertical blinds

Hi,
I've a large 5 meter wide vertical track blind in the living room. There are 42 vertical blinds each 5 inch wide and 86 inch tall.
The kids have been playing over the last few years with the blinds, as a result of which some blinds have come off the rail and a few geared connectors/ carriers/ vane clips have broke on the rail (please refer to attached pics). So not all the blinds are turning now when opening/ closing.
Question is about hooks and connectors:
Can the hooks that connect the channel at top with the blinds be bought separately (shown as missing in the picture)?
Also an these gear connectors (with broken green gear showing in the pic) be bought separately? If yes, from where?
I am quite sure I can remove this blind and open it to replace the faulty bits. A few years ago, the pull string for shifting the blinds to either ends got so twisted that it won't open with ease, so I took it apart to untwist the string and put it together again without much difficulty, so I am keen to repair this if its possible.
Your help would be highly appreciated.

You 'should' be able to buy all of those parts separately. Find someone locally that sells/makes these blinds and pop in and ask.0
