Default Homelite 33cc.........I need an EI prop hub!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know where I might be able to find an EI prop hub for this engine? It is the 33cc powerstroke engine from the Homelite Ranger and Bandit saws. I converted one years ago and ran it on the stock mag and it was a great engine with lots of power. I could even hand start it too though it had to be a very firm flip Lol!
I have no way of making this piece myself and I know guys have done it before. Thanks for any insight you could give!

I don't have a Homelite 33cc here to refer to to make you a prop hub. I've got one in storage about 200 miles from here but don't have access to it at the moment. Do you have your original magneto flywheel? I often make prop hubs using the center cut out of the magneto to fit the taper on the crankshaft, and then make a prop hub to fit against that. I then make a collar that goes around that flywheel center piece with a magnet in it, and it is adjustable for setting the timing. How are you going to mount your sensor, and do you have a pic of the engine??

At 200 miles to get to your storage ,I'll bet you don't go there often.I go 17 miles one way to my storage area in an old movie theater and gripe about having to go so far.I make a list of what is going up and what is coming back with me,so I don't forget anything,but I usually do. I only pay $20 a month for a 10' x 12' space so I shouldn't be complaining about the distance.It also doubles as a work space in the summer,with a restroom,water,refrigerator and a microwave.

I don't know how to load a picture of my work! Maybe someone can walk me through it.
