bec propshafts
What type of prop do i need, is a singal sierra one the best for alteration, and is it long enough on it's own, and i'm guessing that i
need a center bearing for support.

hi mate the sierra prop is 2 piece
it bolts to two mounts in the middle sidewall tunnel when you order an MK indy BEC yours should still have the mounts?
its the engine end that needs modding for a BEC by MK

Just been looking at your website Hellfire, it shows the center bearing mount, was it mounted to the tunnel side wall, and also what size bearing do i
need, i've seen different sizes on ebay.

brad unless Im mistaken the prop should be the same all the way up to the engine as what your pinto one was its just MK have to modify the end for a
BEC
or as hellfire suggested you can have one specially made
but the sierra prop will do the job fine
so you bolt to the diff then theres a side mount in the tunnel where the UJ is
then it goes straight the the engine, thanks

sorry yes of course because of the gearbox
anyway if your going for cheaper then you need a sierra prop mine was off a xr4x4 it was 2 piece
otherwise just phone MK and see if they have any
