Hilux diff pinion shaft wanted

I'm just putting a lokka in my lux, its a 2pin diff with a pinion shaft running through the middle that holds the 2 smaller spider gears in. That shaft on mine has a step on it so im pretty keen to replace it. Does anyone have any diff parts around? Because toyota nz has to bring one in from japan with a 2-3 week wait if i wana get one from toyota.
Any help would be rad, im not in a huge hurray as the diff is a spare one so i can do it on the bench and isn't taking my vehicle off the road

Thanks,

Dan

The crownwheel and pinion have to be as a matched pair, if you swap one you've got to swap them both as a matching set

Are you meaning the cross pin that holds the spider gears?

maybe double check at toyota.I have got three off them in the past and they have always had them in stock. just a thought. but they would probably know. try asking for one out of a hiace maybe.
