Default Different front spindles?

Hi folks,

Looking for your insight. I'm restoring an old 1929 Business Coupe and I took it for a test drive this week. The front passenger side wheel has a slight wobble. After a lot of checking, I've discovered that the "bad" spindle is 1/4-inch shorter than the other, and the inner bearing isn't sitting in all the way within the dust seal as it should. I'm thinking that the improper seating of the bearing is the cause of the slight wobble.

This has me wondering if I've got a spindle from a different year or something. Two questions: 1. Is there a difference in spindles? 2. The parts shops I typically use don't carry spindles. Can anyone recommend a used parts provider?

Thanks as always for your help!
