The prop has been made to measure by Dunning & Fairbanks in Leeds, I ordered the uprated one that can handle upto approx 250HP from the crankshaft.....cost was £105 + £12 delivery + VAT...Total £137.?? cheers andy |
Supa, all gives me extra time to make the garage ready for the return of my chassis.. By the time I am done you will have room to be able to swing the cat :)
Powered moving is just as monumentous as the first fire up. I remember the day I drove my converted saphire out the garage. Awesome. TT |

But I,m sure just being able to reverse it out of the garage & drive it back in instead of pushing it will put a big smile on my ugly mug :cool: cheers andy |
Nice one Andy. I bought my prop from D&F it's a lovely job. Mine cost a load more though as I had to have the MT75 adapter as well. Really good service from them and they were amongst the cheapest that I could find.
I am sure you will savour that very first drive, I know I enjoyed mine:) Enoch |

swmbo thinks I,m daft being excited about being able to reverse it out of the garage:rolleyes: ( she doesn,t drive at all). Yes, the service from D&F has been very good, I confirmed the dimensions of my prop on tuesday, I asked if poss would I have it in time for this weekend, the guy said that they would do their best as they had guys on holiday, I phoned today as he suggested & Yes, its made & its on a TNT wagon en route to me, very good service indeed :cool: cheers andy ps...off to read your build update, always enjoy your updates:) |
A little update
I,d like to say a huge thanks to forum member "Tex" :)
He came over to help me bleed my brake system on sunday afternoon, tho it wasn,t without a slight mishap ....... Terry had asked me before we started if I,d checked all connections were tight in the brake lines, yes was my answer.. filled up the M/C & started pumping the pedal, bleeding each of the rear drums & front calipers, must,ve done it about 4 times each, still not getting a firm pedal......had thoughts of the nightmare that Ash had with his brakes, I then noticed a small pool of fluid on the floor.....guess who hadn,t fully tightened the brake pressure switch???? :o Once that was nipped up, I,m glad to report that the brakes are now leak free & has a firm pedal pressure :) Which only meant one thing....another little test drive :D still grinning from ear to ear. So, a BIG thanks to Tex, cheers mate . Am now considering to doing a track day next saturday night ....must resist lol cheers andy |
:D THE CALL OF THE TRACK CANNOT BE RESISTED:D
Well Done...AndyH |

tell you what Spud, I,ll get stuck in on the final few things left to do to my car & see how things are by tuesday, if the car is track worthy I,ll go for it....gulp. Brings back memories of itching to get back onto a Race bike after suffering broken bones in a previous crash, ended up riding again with still broken fingers :eek: :D such is the call of the track. cheers andy |
Do it you big girls blouse !!!!! you know you want too.
I can understand the feeling with getting the car moving under its own power ,I was high for a week after my first solo flight and still remember it as though it was yesterday. See you at Teeside :p . |
