Well, we finally finished the repairs and test flew my L2M this morning (75 degress, zero wind). IT WAS GREAT!!!!
The only problem was that the left wing was slightly heavy, so I will readjust it this afternoon. The new struts from Univair fit great. The are much larger in "circumference" if you will, so I had to make new strap clamps for the jury struts and the tie down rings, but they weren't nearly as hard to fab as I thought they might be.
The repitched prop (7148) added between 8 and 10 mph so it was well worth it.
Bottom line, I couldn't be happier. Thanks to all who offered advice throughout to ordeal.
