Puts chit out for repair (6,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stitch up

'repair' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'puts chit out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'puts'+'chit'='putschit'
'putschit' anagrammed gives 'STITCH-UP'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stitch up that I've seen before include "Instance of making someone wrongly take the blame" , "Incriminate by informing on (someone)" , "frame" , "Cheat" , "Mend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
