I used Autoprop - no problem at all. I paid about £110 (+ P&P) for a prop Type 9 to Escort diff.

ETA it was 4 years ago, so the price might have gone up

I paid £150 all in just a few weeks ago for a brand new prop made to my dimensions from Bailey Morris in Cambs. It's for a type 9 to English Axle and has 2 heavy duty Universal Joints. Was a bit cheaper with std UJ's but not much. Thoroughly recommend them.

Second for Autoprop ^^ The other two main prop companies I know of were much more expensive for mine and one let me down badly (and cost me money!).
The guy there seemed very knowledgable and down to earth, had time to talk etc..

Personalty i wouldn't recommend autoprop although they are probably the cheapest, had my first trt prop from them it always went through a vibration period between 100-110 mph after a number of phone calls continually being fobbed off with check this and check that ect i took it to Bailey Morris who checked it out and immediately condemned it

I now have a Bailey Morris prop fantastic quality and service.

I too am wary of autoprop. Especially after a prop he balanced lost its weights, and when returned were fixed in a very different place (and a different size)
The other nasty was when he used to blow weld holes in the props, but he may have improved.

No No No. DO NOT make your own, you cannot ensure the ends are square or balance it.

or another way of phrasing it - how much do you value your left leg?

I used Dunning and Fairbank in Leeds, great job well please. Their are some things that you can skimp on during your build, the prop isn't one of them mate. Not unless you've got all the gear that is that can weld it square and balance it up properly.

Just my 2 pence thats all.
