Quick prop question

Post by samburgess » 28 Dec 2012 11:34 am

The prop should sit parrel to the car shouldn't it?

Mine at the minute rakes down towards the gear box which is most likely why it ate the prop?

Can you get a photo?

Could also be if the front engine mounts are too squashed, or the mounting bar is bent, or the suspension crossmenber has been pushed up.

If the mounts are loose/soft/torn the driveshaft and gearbox will want to the twist up like a rope.

Dai I just put your engine mounts in so I think the engine had just sat a lot higher than it used to that's all

Just wanted to make sure my new prop went on as flat as it could go
