Does one have shaft number 15 in underneath picture lying around, and could measure up its length for me..? The shaft only btw, without U-joints.

Nah, cable thingy is not what I want, but thanks anyway.

I prefer the simplicity, looks, and important to me, the feel of the "old style" rod set-up. Which imo is not at all hard to shift, and other than claimed on that site, really doesn't need any readjustment - and if so, it takes only two wrenches, and 5 minutes so...
