Here's one place. Send them one of your old ones and they'll build one that'll take whatever power you put to it. They do steel, aluminium, carbon fiber. Fast turn around times too. Wiles Driveshafts 3775 US-79 Scenic, Paris, TN 38242

maybe ck with some custom drive shaft shops that build race car shafts, they may be able to come up with something..

I can't say that I've ever looked to see, if it's one in the crank I'm going to put one in.

That's what the place above does. I've had several done by them. They do great work.

It's no pilot bushing in my crankshaft. So I'm going to instal one maybe that will help.
