Buy a rennbay new one for $125.

Got mine recently... Looks great.

Was debating that, but it's for the NA and I've literally put more into this car in the past 60 days alone than the whole car is worth. There is a used one on ebay I'm debating grabbing. If it was for my 951 (whose original shaft is perfect) I wouldnt hesitate, but it's getting hard to justify for the NA. I just want everything mechanically fixed (don't mention the cosmestics) and the steering shaft is just about the last thing I havnt done. I intend to DD the car for at least the next 2-3 years minimum once it's back on the road.

If you intend to dd for a few years then there is no excuse not to get the new shaft. Who knows how much worse the already 30 year old shaft will get in 2-3 more years.

And we're all in over our heads cost wise... I don't think there's a single person on here who hasn't spent more than the car's value. I could be in a 996 by now...

I could be in a 996 just from what I've spent on the 951. It's funny though how in my mind, I can easily justify every penny I've spent on that car because "well, it's fast as **** right!" but the NA I have a much harder time with, despite the true honest fact that they are probably worth about the same (since my 951 is a swapped NA car and gutted inside).

I'll get the new shaft.

Doug, I have one that I will check in a few days if are still looking.

I'd sure appreciate that AJ. I'm considering the new shaft, but if someone can give me a good condition used one for a price I can't say no to, I'd consider that too. I'm in a bit of a difficult situation presently, the 951 is parked 3 hours way from me and while it has a mint condition factory shaft, I can't leave that car without a way to steer it in case I need to move it on short notice.
