Pressed hub funnel tool

Does anyone have a source for the hub funnel? I can't locate anything on line.

Does anyone have an y info on the funnel to install a pressed hub on a prop? I have a johnson stainless 4 blade prop with a spun hub. I just got the old hub out. But seems to need a funnel to squeeze the new hub down as I press it in. The only tool I can find online is a volvo funnel.

Maybe it is called something else or could one be made?

This is late by months …. Unfortunately I do not think they are sold by anyone. They are made to fit depending on the size needed. I made one out of a 2” cast iron pipe fitting. I recessed it to sit/ fit nicely on hub to stay on center. Anyone with a lathe could make one. I have also seen guys used a bearing race to do such. Each one made would be to fit a particular size hub on any given propeller. This makes them kind of a special tool of sorts. They accumulate as needed.

I specifically joined the forum to address your question. I hope by now you came up with a solution
