OK - Fair point, I never suggested putting safety second and the distance is only around 10mm too short which would have little or no effect on
safety.
The build manual should reflect it then if its now neccesary to fit the prop after the diff and the options open.
Or better still give the builder the option of having the prop supplied split. This however was of no benefit to me as it still didnt clear the hoop
in question.
Its just a nause to have to split it, split it again and run the risk of upsetting the balance.
To re emphasise the point, Im not being awkward but I do recall you saying youd be happy with any suggestions to help with future builds.
Surely fitting a prop from MNR to a chassis from MNR should be more straightforward?

I can't remember very well that part of the build, but I followed the manual pretty close and I just split the prop in half and fed it from both
sides..., no problem at all...

I suppose my prop could just be a few mm longer and wont clear. Im pretty sure its the chassis hoop just in front of the handbrake which wouldnt
go.
It needed the rear prop flange dislocated to get it through as there was insufficient angle on the flanges to get through the bottom of the hoop.

Rich,
I'm with you, the prop was a B'std to fit.
As already said, I ended up splitting the rear UJ.
Is yours fitted now?
Steve.

Hiya mate, yeh its in now just need to re assemble the rear flange UJ in the tunnel - should be fun as it took some pretty heavy action to drive it
out.
I should have it bolted up and finished tonight so Ill report back later on.

The prop is finally in.
One of the trickiest jobs of the build. The bolts which hold the sprocket adaptor on (R1) are very difficult to get to with the engine in so much
better to fit it prior to the engine.
Not had much of a chance to run it yet but it seems fine up on stands time will tell with regards to balance.
I had to cut a spanner down to tighten up the 17mm bolt as again, its incredibly tight to nip up once the prop is in place.
If anyone has any quieries with this one just shout cos I was somewhat in the dark with it.
