New SE axle shafts

Other than a dealer or Mazdatrix, does any one know of a place to get new GSL-SE axle shafts? Somebody spun the bearings on the used rearend we picked up and we're having problems locating another set of shafts.

The whole race slipped on the axle shaft and cut a groove in it. The race got so hot on one of them that it cracked. A local axle shop said they wouldn't touch them. We thought we could have them milled down and then use different sized bearings but apparently they are now weakened because of the extreme heat.

We contacted Moser engineering and will be sending them pics and measurements next week. They say they might be able to fabricate a set. I'll post if they can, their prices are better then OEM. I do have a line on a set in an out of state junkyard but now I'm paranoid.
