Well I would go to old Eric Weston at Australian air props at Bankstown - he has been around over 100years!!!! (well seems that way - it must be 30+ years ago I got a Pawnee prop from him). He is a bit old and he is not a very good painter (I could do a better job and I am hopeless). He usually sends it back with bubble wrap stuck to red tips which he painted 1 hr before he packs it. Make up a wooden box. Be advised may will have to changed from 6mm to 8mmat OH and this is expensive. Just give him time to do it and make sure he has a kit in stock before it is sent
Usually nothing to do after refitting except 1 or 2 adj to pitch to get it right (leave spinner off while you do it.
