Sounds like a neat car that has found a great home. http://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A11350.html for the drive or http://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A11002E.html or http://parts.modelastore.com/show_Product.asp?ID=6388

I made this tool to straighten armatures. Just watch the large flat washer and nut on the bottom as you rotate the shaft. When the washer is closest to the frame, you tighten the nut to pull the shaft down a bit. When it's straight the nut and washer will not bob up and down as the shaft is rotated.

You can also set the shaft on 2 V blocks and press down on the high spot in the shaft. They are really quite easy to straighten.

Replacement Bendix drives are available from the Model A parts stores, such as Bert's, Bratton's, Snyder's, etc. When you install the drive be sure the short bolt goes next to the pinion, and be sure the lock tabs on the washers are bent in firmly against the FLAT side of the hex bolts.
