Looking for a Century Autopilot Rockerswitch Shaft

[Houman]

Hi, does anyone have an extra Century rocker switch shaft part number : 47A297 ?

I had the UP/DN rocker switch from my Century 41 autopilot fall into my hand during a flight, it seems that the shaft holding it in place broke or came off. I belive it is a very small round metal shaft with springs at one or both end. The autopilot UP/DN works fine if I put my finger trough the hole and push the proper switch in the back.

The rocker switch is fine and not broken, but the shaft is no where to be found even after extensive search in the plane.

Calling Century, they told me that it is 20$, but that I have to buy up to 50$ for them to ship it to me and not sure how long it takes for Canada !

I'm sure it is a .50c shaft, but kind of important...

Thanks !!!
