    Default I didn't know it was a high demand item.

    For those prices I think I'll look into fixing what I've got. Winfred, I appreciate the suggestion about the prop welder, but right now I'm thinking along the lines of JB Weld.

    been there done that, the JB weld gets saturated from the oil and will start leaking within a couple days...but feel free, I might have done a half ass job.

    I agree... not sure I would trust JB weld on something like that...
    If it cannot be fixed by the dremel or ducktape.. get out the sledge...

    Whats the difference between a prop & JB weld? Not familiar with those terms.... all I know about welding is that you need a special one to do aluminum or else you can die

    Yeah.... thats what Jeff and I am saying....

    JB weld is some great stuff... but you would be better of with ducktape on it....

    JB weld fixes a LOT of messed up stuff, I have repaired more than my share too, its a type of epoxy that gets a LOT harder than normal epoxy, good for pretty hot stuff too but I never had luck with anything related to fluids.
