I posted over on parts, but thought someone might see it here. MAmotorworks has one for 70$.......I thought I would check here before buying. Does anyone have one they dont need anymore and be willing to sell?

Some people use old spindles for setting up bearings that have been clearanced with emory cloth for a slip fit. I have a couple of spindles for sale in C3 parts for $30 each.

Thanks....I have an old one out in the garage. Do the threads need to be good or do you just slip the stuff on measure and take it off?
