Alan,
I think you will have difficulty sourcing a new replacement from the
factory as I understand that Arplast have ceased trading.
I do however have a spare "pre-owned" PV50 front end comprising good
motor, screwgear and pitch limit switch block. It's a pretty straight
forward job to swap it out but your work will need inspecting and
approving before your aircraft can be returned to service.
If you are interested, contact me off-list.
