I take it you checked the run out on you're single piece prop before swapping back to the split prop Martin?


I wonder if a perfectly balanced one piece prop should have less vibration than a split prop, Maybe so as the split ones tend to have a rubber bush half way that holds the bearing?
Yeah I checked runout and had it balanced twice before giving up with it. I've decided on a one piece prop for the Firenza, I'm going to use the original prop that came with the Mustang axle and just have it shortened with a T56 yoke..
