Prop Balancer help...
I have a couple of DuBro model #499 prop balancers, but they are both missing the hardened steel shaft and the pair of threaded cones that hold the prop in position on the shaft. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I may use in place of the original shaft, etc? Or, do you happen to have one for sale?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.

Re: DuBro #499
Hi there Big Max.
Yes, the 499 is still a current item. I checked with my LHS for the replacement parts, and they couldn't find any reference to separate parts...only the complete unit. I sent an email off to DuBro last week, but I have not heard anything back from them. At about $30. per balancer, I'm not happy with the prospect of spending that much, just to replace the shaft and cones....so...I have put up this thread, in the hopes that I may find someone with one, or two, to sell. Or, hear of some real neat idea to use something else to do the same job of holding the prop in position for balancing. Anyway, thanks for the note, and have a nice weekend.

WOW...
Briliant Max, you're a genius!!! Now for my nap, a little longer, perhaps, and I'll get on this first thing in the morning.
Thanks so much for your wisdom and vision.
