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

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.
