Yeah, Brandford Bike has a pretty good description of the parts they sell as well as advice like just buy a new Voloce hub and scavange it for parts if you need to overhaul one (they wanted $35 for a new hub so that would be much cheaper than replacing a wheel). They were selling the derailleur side plates for around $35 as well which wouldn't be too bad but the ones they carried said they only fit back through 2004 models I believe and mine is a 2002. Seems like if they're in the Campy spare parts catalog you should be able to get them however.
