AB 206 issues

As we are aware the Agusta 206’s fitted with Bell parts fitted are now potentially grounded unless the parts have been changed over to Agusta. The recent MR blade AD that came out recently, mainly aimed at the -33 blades that require a boro scope have seen even more AB 206’s grounded, as many blades have failed.. All of this is resulting in many previously perfectly serviceable Jet Rangers now sitting in hangers, I have four in mine that require Agusta parts or blades to go back into service. The 2 reg accepted a few as long as the Bell parts fitted were pre 2006. My thoughts are, has anyone found a good solution outside of the 2 reg, or would it make sense to see what could be done, parts wise between owners to get aircraft back in the air? A share of parts requirement, Bell swap etc, I am happy to help where I can, just seems wasteful to have them grounded.
