I just pulled out my shaft last night, and it was bent too. (that sounds funny!) Anyway, if the price wasn't too much, I would be interested in one. $31 divided by 2 is $15.50 in materials alone, by 3 is $10.34. Thats not cheap.
What are you gonna charge?
I tried to straighten it, by even pounding on it, it didn't change shape. Just stuck it back in. I don't think I like writing about this topic.
