I've never had a need to actually check/measure a prop taper! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

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. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28459" rel="nofollow - Ties in with this. ------------- 1986 Martinique - sold When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice. |
