What is the hub thickness of your = 2.85 drive=20 "Monster Props" ? I

would like to know what length of bolts are needed for this prop =

including the crush plate,spinner back plate,etc .

Hi=20 Kelly,

Here's is a=20 note from my logs on the prop hubs:

Talked = to=20 Performance Props (520-394-2059) again, to find out what the hub = thickness will=20 be with the new prop, so I can find a spinner. They said that they buy blanks = in 4-3/8”=20 thickness, and usually plane them down to 4-1/4”. For Tracy’s monster = prop, due to the=20 extra pitch, they found a thicker than normal blank, and planed it down = to=20 4-3/8”. = That’s what they will do=20 for mine as well, so 4-3/8” is the thickest the hub could be. This is the normal size for a = 13” RV=20 spinner, which is why Tracy = was able=20 to use his RV-8 spinner. = I’ll look=20 at the options, and decide if I want to go with 13”, or try to = find a spinner=20 that’s 12”, with the correct hub size.

Despite what this says, I think I ended up = getting a 4-1/4"=20 hub, though I can't find a note to that effect. I gave all = the=20 numbers to Saber Manufacturing when I got the prop, and they sold me a = crush=20 plate, threaded lugs for the redrive, and the proper length=20 bolts.

Rusty
