Nick, the only x-shafts currently available are from Mexico, at least
through my suppliers. I wouldn't give a nickle for a truck load. Take your
worn German original to a machinist and have the fingers reground with
perfectly concentric curves of sleightly longer radius than stock. Put in
new bushings. Function restored and it will last just as long as when new.
The hardening on those fingers is very deep.
