I would contact Jun at Japan tackle and if you have the part #'s even better. He's a great guy to deal with and has gotten me parts in the past I couldn't acquire anywhere else.

Hi, the drive shaft part number should be (H68-9302) for lefty, but from the Tackle Trap information, the drive shaft need to machined to fit into Alphas/SOL/Zonda. Not sure what they was mod, unless some one forumer share the info.

The Tackle Trap does ship to Malaysia. The website isn't set up to automatically accept orders outside the US as shipping costs vary widely.

I have upgraded my Alphas and Pixies with parts bought from Tackle Trap. I live in Australia and they ship overseas. Ask them. They are very friendly. Shipping is not cheap though - they use Priority Mail International instead of cheaper but slower First Class.

The drive shaft for clicker is whisker longer. Sometimes it's pain in the proverbial to undo the screws that holds the shaft. Trick is heat it up with soldier. Other than that it's very simple to change.
Goodluck

Thanks! We're working on setting up a convenient first class international service to reduce the cost of shipping parts overseas. The massive price increase USPS instituted this year makes it a lot more expensive and Tackle Trap charges actual cost, no mark ups. The trouble with first class is that it takes significantly longer and has resulted in more "lost" packages which presents some problems. :-k

The Tackle Trap is now all set up to ship parts and other small items internationally via USPS First Class mail. Obviously, some restrictions apply, but feel free to shoot me a PM or email thetackletrap@gmail.com for more info, thanks guys!
