Anybody know what the correct taper spec is for a prop shaft?

Prop shaft taper Measure your new prop but I'd say it will be the SAE 1 in 16. I've never had a need to actually check/measure a prop taper! |

Great.
If my old shaft is straight I will get them to re-machine the taper to move the prop further up the shaft and closer to the strut. It will also allow a descent thread for the nut. The new ARE shaft is 40.1" so I have a little play for machine work. Ties in with this. |
