Measuring Proplength

Ready to order my prop now. I asked MK which they dimensions they needed to make the prop, they said just the overall lenght from diff face to sprocket adapter.

Unfortunately I dont have line of sight between the diff and sprocket adapter, making measuring the overall prop lenght impossible. Surely MK need to know how much 'bend' the prop has at the bearing to know the props true lenght.

How have other Indy owners order there props?

I presume the prop has a telescopic section at the centre bearing, so absolute accuracy is not important. The Telescopic joint will take up any slight errors.

I take it is a 2 piece (centre bearing) prop so decide where you want the centre bearing and then use sting to measure out the 2 sections.
