Many moons ago my brother and I put the old charger into a table drain. Somewhere during the sidewise offroad excursion we bent the tailshaft. Limped up to a property where the owner had a look and said "That's an easy fix" we cut the bent section out of the shaft and the old cocky turned a peice of black wattle up in the lathe fitted it into the two halves and fixed it into place with a couple of 1/4 inch mild bolts. It vibrated a bit up around 80kph but settled down again around 90-95. That shaft was still in the car when my brother sold it 2 years later.
