I have had to replace the rear gearbox oil seal 3 times now, after some tugging i get alot of movement in the front uj joint on the prop..... I am thinking the prop is actually a bit short.....

can you get prop spacers? looking for one around 20mm are they safe to use? provided they are steel etc..

I have a spacer that was made by a prop company. Its to go from a tri-pod to standard uj but its still a spacer

I made one for my prop which was about 20mm thick iirc. Made out of aluminium. The most important thing is that the spigot and recess which centralise the prop are concentric.
