Connecting rod help



I'm still trying to find a connecting rod (or set of 4) for my '86 8v.  My local VW parts supplier can't get them, Potterman didn't answer my email and, so far, on one here seems to have one lying around.

Here's the problem:  One of the rod bearings spun and appears to have damaged the rod (its hammered to a bit of an oval shape).  I suspect a machine shop can't fix this kind of damage, but I will take it in and find out.

So, any ideas?  Again, anyone have a used connecting rod?  Its for an '86 JH engine, but it EKTA says its the same rod used in any of the 1.8L engines.
