If there is an oldtime automotive machine shop in your area, check to see if maybe they've still got a reground shaft in stock. Some of the machine shops where I've worked never discarded anything, even if it was many years obsolete. There are usually several 235/261 cranks on Ebay, but the shipping cost on something that big and heavy can get pretty steep.
