I am afraid you will find Chris Lodge no longer makes props though he may be able to repair an existing one.
If you need a new prop I would try Hercules Propellers at
www.hercprops.com
We have just fitted one to a 0-200 & are very pleased with it

Clive, Thanks for the reply, that explains why I was struggling to find anything.
Hercules look excellent, but I'm putting it on my rans S6 microlight and would have the additional burden of a noise test (£400).
So, it looks like it will be the GT prop for me.

As luck would have it, I've acquired a nice s/h Lodge prop.
The prop came off a Murphy Maverick microlight. Andy draper suggested having a word with the CAA about issuing a noise certificate without a noise test. There is already an approved Lodge prop for the Rans S6, of very similar spec and the chap at the CAA agreed there was little practical fifference between the two installatiuons and said it was ok to use the prop.
So a big thanks to our Andy and the CAA for helping me achieve another affordable step forward.
