Truvativ Elita GXP 170mm Left Crank Arm Replacement
My pedal on the left crank arm was cross threaded and as I tried to remove the pedal, I stripped the treads on the crank arm. Anyone know a crank arm that could serve as a replacement for the Truvativ Elita GXP 170mm. The crankset is on a cycle genius RDX. There are some other repairs I had in mind like rethreading the crank arm, but I thought I would see if there is a crank arm I could use as a replacement.
I would add images, but the site says I dont have enough posts to attach images.

A repair using a Helicoil® insert is another possibility, it will make stronger threads than the original.

For a "one of" repair, it'd probably make more sense to pay a bike shop to do it.
The L crank is L threaded, and that's where it gets expensive for the the L hand tap.
The R side is a common 9/16"x20 where the tooling/inserts are far more common.

Thanks Barry2 for the links. The first one is exactly the part I need. I don't know how I missed it when looking for the crank. I already bought a set from ebay for roughly 40 dollars which was just put up two days ago. If I didn't buy that one, I would have gotten this one.
