I'd like to share a fully positive feedback. However I was disappointed by the way it was packed. Item was sold with it original box. Instead of shipping item in the original box in a second box to protect everything as I would have done, it was sent only in its original box fully covered with adhesive tape. Sacrilege ! How to ruin a 50-60 years old box ! Ok the shaft is what I bought, what I received and was as per description and will be perfect the day I will need it for my Vespa.
