I need a tapered shaft prop hub (wooden propeller) for Continental engines.

Charles,
I just bought a taper hub from Barnstormers.com. They pop up from time to time. Expect to pay over $300 for a good one. The taper shaft hub from a A-65 or C-85 will work, both are identical.
If I see one for sale, I'll let you know. If you find one for sale, insist on a photo because the hubs do get beat up quite a bit.

Mike,

I can use an unairworthy hub assembly, need it for "tooling purposes". Trying to find a hub assembly and Sensenich W72CK propeller for final trim and assembly of the Chief spinners.

Thank You

Charles,
I have a "unairworthy" prop hub that you can have. I bought it along with a reground A65 crankshaft, then found out someone had hacked at it with a torch :evil: (was covered with grease and wrapped in a rag). Long story but he wouldn't take it back so if you can use it, let me know. Hope I can find it........... somewhere in the shop, I think.

Found it. As you can see, someone was at it with what looks like a torch, Unsure what the deal is but if you can use it, just pay the shipping and it's yours. Contact me PM off list.
