I could probably put it in a padded mailer and send it to you at no charge. If I have to put it in a flat rate box it would cost you 8 bucks for postage. Of course, the hardest part will be finding it. I'll look around when I get home from work and if I can dig it out we're all set. Just let me know if you're interested.
Hey, yeah i'm interested, i'd appreciate it if you could send me a picture of the part if you find it, so i can be 100% sure its the right one. Thanks.

Is that an older model? I thought I heard the newer ones have a hardened axle and a cone point set-screw to fix that problem.
yep Max, it has several years...

Ashman, I'm still looking. I have the whole system, both sides, axle, etc, in a little ziploc bag. Somewhere. Have you emailed Erik at Imex? I'm sure he has the part you need. I'll keep looking, though. It's here somewhere, dammit. :-<

I've sent him a few emails, he didn't have any. :(
