Looking for a single decent pivot shaft. I have the solid SS pivot shafts from 914Rubber installed but never driven but they seem unnecessarily heavy. One of my originals is corroded. If I can find a decent OE shaft, I'll swap them out and am willing to trade the SS for a single good pivot if interested.



Thanks.

I have this pair- threads are good. See photos for condition of ends where bushings ride (I have not cleaned them).

I have seen a repair for the corroded shafts, as long as it's not too far gone. Bead blast the shafts, cover corroded part with jb weld. Turn shaft on lathe until smooth. It could probably be done with hand tools since it's not a bearing surface.

Edit - Bruce's look great.

I have clean replated pivot shafts. I will trade you for the solid SS shafts. Will include replated nuts.
