In the middle of the handle at the front? Or the middle of the back thru the shaft?

Hey all, yes still here and been doing a bit, no no no i havnt given up or sold it. Just wondering if anyone knows if you can get a repro shaft that goes into the windscreen actuator for mid 30's fords. I left mine in citric bath a bit long and the spline is all but gone. Have done some interweb searches but as not sure of its actual part name cant seem to find one :oops:
Any leads appreciated.

Almost Chrisso, the pickup unit has a shaft about 4" long that runs in to the same type of actuator.
Thanks anyway
