had some good luck at the coop this weekend, found 2 possible spindles, one is almost an exact match with the square taper,it looks like a 71, but the length of the spindle is on the short side, i didn't measure but looks in the 105 to 106 range, found another thats a 70 and the spindle length should be more then enough, im only running a 1x6 so as long as my ring doesn't come in contact i should be ok..
