dont know if this will work for you tel? but my impeller shaft broke on my ehiem so I cut down a ****tail stick , and put that in, lasted about 2 months then I cut down a cotten bud plastic stick still going after three months.

tel if you've got a wilko's near or garden centre try using fence wire, its the heaviest gauge, doesnt last long but might get you out of trouble.

You can buy them from Hagen directly its the cheapest way to do it. Personally though I would bin it and get an eheim!!!!!!

bin it are you mad, 405 is the best filter ive had, eheims are over priced + over rated, and nowhere as efficient as fluvals although saying that hagen dont have replacement shafts for the 405 on their website
