Hi is the tube torque prop on bec worth the extra dosh?
what advantages if any ?
In my opinion, yes. It softens the blow when going through the gears and particularly from neutral to first. If a cush drive is good for the bike, the
TRT prop has got to be the nearest thing for a bike engine installed in the front of a car.

Cheers guys
Ordered trt prop from dunning & fairbanks (leeds) what a excellent team they are just wondered about benifits
judging by the number of bent selector forks recently its worth the extra money, my chain drive has the bikes cush drive retained too for the same reasons
TRT prop is well worth it so ease the stress on your transmission dogs
When I first ordered my prop from D&F I (stupidly) didn't get a TRT fitted. It used to fairly clatter when changing gear at low speed, to the
extent that I later asked them to fit a TRT to my prop, and what a difference!
It still does clank to an extent, but then again so does the bike at low speed!
I'd recommend having one fitted.
i ordered last week a Bailey Moriss prop... to my specs.. offcourse i also wanted the Torque RT option in it! 
I paid quet allot for it! sow i thought once good en never anymore!
Tks
So then, how much is one of these props?
240 pounds i gess what mine was...
but i'm not 100% sure
Tks
i think mine was about £150 from dunning and fairbanks... via mnr
well infact it was 288pounds!
for the shaft!
- 50.8mm
- 2 sierra flanges
- TRT tube
- Mid bearing
765mm + 510mm
Will mail them, looks like they pulled tomuch!
I know they wont do anything but i will let them read this post!
Regards,
Tks
They're two different companies and I'm pretty sure that new propshafts from D&F are more than £150. The price quoted was probably just
for modifications to a Sierra prop for the TRT part.

I got mine from AutoProp nice fella to deal with and seemed to know his onions
Mine was 230 inc vat and delivery
[Edited on 26/9/06 by Gav]
mine didnt have a mid bearing so thats why it was cheaper, it only went from reverse box to diff...
had to have a front prop between engine and reverse box as well which pushed up the price..
That sounds more like it! Mine woulda been about £250 had I got the TRT fitted in the first place. As it was is cost about £200 initially, then
another £110 for the TRT (two piece with centre bearing and sliding joint).
Worth every penny! 
are a clown or something?
dont untherstand your posts sorry...
anyway looks like you needed to pay 300pounds?
mine was 288 without vat.
Tks
Mine from Dunning and Fairbank was around £185 + VAT and delivery. So in total was around the £240 mark...
Good build quality, but be sure to check that the balancing weights have been sufficiently tack welded into place and also that the grease nipples are
torqued up! Whilst I was splitting my rear UJ to get it into the tunnel the grease nipple just dropped out!
All in all though good build quality where it counts but I haven't used it in anger yet!?
Chris.
would fit if having a reverse box inline as you gain even more backlash , but not so sure if its worth it as in a centre baering setup, incidentally
we have a caterham ireblade car here at the moment for some mods and that is fitted with a donut type cushdrive which bolts in between the sprocket
adapter and the front propshaft, not sure if its a caterham part though but looks like a nice solution, not as heavey or bulky, will have a look to
see if there are any part numbers this afternoon

Marc, any pictures or owt on this Caterham bolt in part? Sounds reet juicy!
I thought you tried to take my nose..
(to make a joke) by saying your prop was 150..
not mentioning you brought 2 props..
untherstand?
mhh also for the stats my prop will even more expensive!!
i had to return it to the UK after a to big center bearing beeing fitted!
they fitted one wich was 120mm heigh!
and one that has the "open" frame design...
dunno wy but they did it, i didn“t took it into account because i thought they knew enough by saying it will be for a kitcar...
But atleast one day i will have a nice black shiney prop and a good balanced feeling between risks and money for me thats every penny i have
worth!
Tks
