Tapered crankshaft propeller hub request

Post by sburke »

Attached is a photo and a sketch that I made of the propeller hub for my 1947 L16A 7BCM . I am looking for a spanner wrench to remove and torque down the collett shown in hand in the photograph.

Sam,
You're going to need a pin spanner wrench for that hub. You should pull it down snug and tighten to the next lock pin hole. It is the jamb nut for the smaller prop nut as well as the front stop for pulling the hub.
This is a pretty early hub, I have seen them used on the A40 and early A50's. They are all 0 taper and should work fine.
