Default Need 1987 Marathon Passenger Spindle

Hey all. Thanks for the help with the wiring issues, finally sorted. Now I noticed the passenger wheel was tilting in abit. Found the spindle itself is bent slightly. I've searched and can't seem to find a replacement. The hub looks fine. I've found a couple that look similar but not listed for 1987. Does anyone know of a place to get one, or x reference part #. Thanks Again.

If you are not having any luck finding a replacement and you are unhappy with the appearance of the wheel and/or it drives erratically then bend the spindle back into position.
How bad is it bent? Is the tire worn unevenly? Have you removed the hub? You will need to remove the hub to inspect the spindle so see where it is bent. If the surface of the spindle is painted then you may see flaking paint at the bend (after removing built-up crud).
Proceed to remove the spindle, install it in a vise, heat the joint to a rosy red and bend it back. Use a long heavy pipe slipped over the spindle for leverage. Repeat till you get it where you want it.
