Here is a link to some one who carries them. I would also email him to see if he has any other Kort nozzles while you are there.

I have found that tin cans are a good scource of kort material depending on the size of your prop.
WARNING
TIN CANS WITH RING PULLS ARE REALLY SHARP , DONT RUB YOUR FINGERS ALONG THE INSIDE EDGE  :embarrassed:

Another safer method is plant pots , they ar tapered allready and if you glue two or three together and cut out the base you have a nearly perfect kort . and they come in different sizes   :-))  come on Howard have a go   :-)) .

ps meeting this sat, and play time afterwards  :} O0 :D .

 Like Toes says.....you could always make your own. I was missing one for my Seabex. When I found out Graupner wanted me to buy a whole drive to get one, I made a replacement from plastic ABS water pipe. Can't tell the difference from the rest.

I'm using some 50mm drain pipe. I bought two 120 degree bends an removed the ends that fit inside the down pipe giving me the correct size for my model of Anglian Sovereign. The white plastic inside was an attempt to provide a narrow exit but it stopped me removing the props with the korts fitted so I abandoned that idea.

The plastic channel and bolts are for fixing the korts to the hull.

Just my attempt

I think Raboesch make props with squared off tips to suit Kort nozzles.

Hi mike
The props are just left and right bog standard, I made a template for one of the blades then marked each blade, then used a bench grinder to shape.
