Your modified car engine one will be (almost definitely) useless now, yes.

You can modify a normal Sierra one by cutting the end front UJ end off and then welding on a sliding UJ to mate up to a prop adapter that will bolt to your sprocket spigot.

Or you can get a TRT prop made for you. This is better as it "replaces" the cush drive offered by the rubber blocks in the Blade's rear wheel. The only small problem there (apart from the cost ) is the need to measure accurately. But this is very simply done to be honest!!!

Give MK's a call, they can supply an exchange Fireblade/Sierra prop for £73.50 or an extra £36.50 surcharge if you have'nt a doner one.
