I might be able to find those around here...

What about the shift linkage? Move the stud over and...? or leave it all alone?
I did move the stud over, but the linkage still runs a little bit diagonally through the tunnel. I also chopped both rods and extended them a little. The shift linkage was pretty trivial, and making the mounts was the bigger part of the challenge. The auto axles fit just fine, but they are a tiny bit shorter. If you add the lengths of both axles together, they auto axles measure out about 1/4" shorter for combined length. I have been running them for years now, and have had no problems with them at all.
