"George also suggest to me to replace them with the hobbyking version which i already ordered as a replacement that fit straight in.

Not sure if they will fit your p40, but they are the right fit for my mustang."
Hi Steve,
I think the H-King retracts will fit my P-40 however the rotation on the P40 maybe an issue, but I have no option but to give it a try.
I pulled the retract apart this arvo to see if I could fix it. I found that the so called worm drive shaft (aka M2 screw thread) was bent like a dogs hind leg. I straightened it as best I could and it works although not very smooth and I am not sure for how long. This shaft is so soft and possibly made of brass so any load transmitted through undercarriage is going to bend it again - even with the softest of landings will damage it to some degree.
