I've purcahsed and (lab) tested a lot of them and so far (regretably) Mini Speed has the only decent ones for 3 synch. Not sure if Swifties does them the 3 synch, but their 4 synch shafts are also good. I always worry when buying from Minispeed, you hear nothing, but a few weeks later the gear does show up.
I tested them not only for Rc hardness, but depth of hardness & material. It is what they say.

I've bought my layshafts in Australia recently. They've been good.
Rich, don't you guys make proper 4sync A shafts now??
Minispeed..... Never ordered anything from them. Never will.
