Default TF Piper Arrow-Mechanical Retracts

I've been working on this airplane for a few weeks now and it coming out very nicely. So much so, that I'd hate to use the supplied fixed gear and would love to add retracts. The manual gives good instructions on how to install Robart pneumatic gear but this setup would add $350 to the building cost. I just can't spend this much on gear, can anyone give a recommendation for mechanical retracts (manufacturer and model)?

Any quality set of mechanical retracts would work in that model.
