> So here is my situation. I would like to use new hardware. where can i > get it? Jay: If you mean the nuts and bolts for the flanges at each end of the prop shaft, google "stover nut" and you'll see that the nuts are reusable. There is incorrect information around about not reusing them, using loctite, or risking the prop shaft becoming a pogo stick. Has anyone really had that happen? A show of hands, please. Of course, the hex sides of the nuts get rounded since they are such a pain to loosen and tighten, so in that case new nuts are a good idea. GoWesty sells sets of nuts and bolts. The dealers sell both. Bus Depot does, too. The bolt ("screw") is $2.46. The nut is only $0.39 Richard |
