Blade prop adaptor retaining bolt
Gav - 20/9/06 at 11:10 PM

Stuck the engine in tonight and attached the prop, but realised in missing the retaining bolt.
Found a M10 fine which seemed to fit nicely.
Whats the best way to actually stop the adaptor coming forward, was thinking of machining up something like a 2/3mm thick washer to clamp it down, sound ok?

i used the original washer but was still play in it.
so i found a new one about 3mm think

I found out that my prop brought from ebay was to small!!

i needed to fit a spacer on the splined shaft and there on the adapter to be able to lock it!

else i would have play to!

the thickness of the washer is nothing though i think 0,8mm

Tks

Some need a thicker washers than others, just machine the correct size up to ensure there is no play.
