Who's done the prop themself?

How did you go about it?

If not, who have you used?

My join is approx 100mm from g/box end where i inserted an internal tube that was a tight fit into both halves of the prop, welded all round after having a 5mm gap between the 2 parts of the prop for penetration including spacer tube.

I tried to modify my own Rob and at the time thought i had got it perfectly straight and the same orientation as the original - until my first drive.....

It nearly shook the car to bits at 40mph. For such a critical part it really is not worth trying to do yourself. Dunning and Fairbank in Leeds are really good and will supply a brand new prop for about £95. Very good they are to.

Yeah I have already e-mailed D&F. And your right £95 aint at all bad for a brand new item that's done correctly.

Once the car is rolling I will be measuring the installed dimensions and making arangments.

I modded my own prop.
Worked out OK, no vibes at all.
The only prob with mine is I still got the rubber doughnut.

Now I got the new engine Im going for a new prop.
D&F quoted me the same price, with all new stuff.
So going with them when I get back....

[Bonzo]

Have D&F got a web site David ?

Failing that, has anyone got a phone number for them

Going to be in the same boat as you mate .... If I make my own. I am going to be stuck with that awfull rubber donut & it don't clear the tunnel enough for my liking

Hopfully, i'll be ready for my prop in the next few weeks

Morning mate..

There ya go.

Silly question,do they use the old bits of original prop or are they completely new.
Reason for asking is that I have two props,one Sierra minus front doughnut and another minus the rear part, from center joint backwards so no diff flange.

[twinturbo]

All new for ~£100 which given how quick these two companies turn round seems excelent.

Perhaps we should try and organise a forum member discount with either of them..

Or a bulk Buy ( only problem being the difference in lenght. However all type 9's will use same construction.
