I think it was Rusty that indicated he was using a prop extension. Was this with Tracy's redrive?  If so, how does an extension work with the metal inserts that are in tracy's hub?

I think I need a 2-2.5" extension to make things fit easier.

I’m putting a 6” extension on Tracy’s RD-1B.  Craig Catto recommended only Saber Mfg for the expertise and precision in prop extensions – 817-326-6293.  It’s a fine piece of work.  I’m also transitioning to ½” bolts, ¾” lugs and 7” hub recommended for my 260 hp 20B and 66” 3-blade prop.  Tracy’s hub is 6 ¼, has 3/8 bolts and 5/8 (I think) lugs.
