I have done this with a few but short to long . There is usually a dead one knocking about for the bits you need . Odd thing I've noticed is the variation in drive shaft lengths depending on year and model

I think there is an ebay Seagull breaker just up the road from you, it might be worth trying to get in contact with him, he might have the bits you need.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
