interesting times for Enstrom owners.
If this https://www.federalregister.gov/docu...er-corporation becomes an AD,
and one has three spindles, MPI checked recently according to AD 2015-08-51, albeit each with say 4000h TIS, the spindles will become paperweights.

Any opinion if these retired spindles can be converted to TT-straps and will be airworthy again?

Considering that the tt-strap conversion "should cost less than $12,000" and
the replacement of three timed out spindles will cost in excess of $24.000, according to FFA's estimated cost of compliance,
I forsee golden times for Airwulf Aerosapce, or am I missing something here?
