The compact Pratt (Win) S-2 style parts available in the catologues will probably fill the bill. It takes a while to get everything lined up well. Don't underbid. Quality may however be suspect. At the very least, plan on rebushing the flanges before installing the parts. I haven't used Pratt parts for quite a while, though. Maybe they've gotten better. (maybe cows can fly!).
