Need 172.5 grey left centaur arm crank

I hope this is the right place for my request...
I need a new Campagnolo Centaur gray left arm crank in 172.5, and I have no luck finding one online.
Any pointer would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I suppose I could, except that after several hundreds dollars spent to try to fix a problem on a bike, the problem is still there and I have the feeling that I've been served a lot of BS. I usually support the lbs, but at some point it should be a two-way street...

I agree about the BS and yes it should be a two-way street...,so what is wrong with the crank or bike ? can any left arm work for you ? if it the treads they can be replace with a heli coil or is it where it connect to the axle ?

The square hole on the bottom bracket side is all messed up, and not really square anymore. The arm got unscrewed on a ride, in the middle of nowhere. Had to come back with stops every mile or so to push back the arm on the axle (I don't carry a big hex key).

it may not look pretty ,but i thinks almost any left arm will work for you and they are cheaper compare to the right side (drive side).this way you can ride the bike until you can find the one you are looking for.

Thanks all of you for your answers and help. I followed the suggestion of getting a silver arm, readily available and cheap. Since I care more about efficiency than cosmerics = problem solved.
