Prop Flange Adaptor Shimming
andrew.carwithen - 28/7/05 at 09:50 PM

After fitting prop flange adaptor on my '94 'blade engine, there is a significant amount of play - i.e the retaining bolt and washer aren't able to fully tighten down onto the adaptor before bottoming out on output shaft.
I seem to remember reading on a past thread, that somebody on here had made up shims to take up this free play and hence I was wondering if they may have some spare available for sale?


Regards,

Andy.

I've contacted the guy who supplied my prop flange adaptor regarding the 'endfloat' and he says that the adaptor is designed to be used in conjunction with a spacer that normally sits behind the front sprocket of the blade engine (which I don't have.)
I've looked in my Haynes manual, but there's no pics/reference made to it.
I was wondering if anyone has/knows where I can obtain one from?

Cheers,
Andy.
