r32 rb25 conversion prop

i'm doing an rb25 conversion on my r32. i've read that using the rb25 box, you use the front half of the rb25 prop and the back half of the rb20 prop.

so i took both props to a specialist today and told him i wanted one joined to the other and balnced. then i notice the centre bearings on both are on the worng sides (so if you just unbolted them and bolted them back together you'd end up with no centre bearing.

so does a custom prop have to be made? any help appreciated, cheers

I think the best option is to get a one piece prop made up, shouldn't be too dear as they can use the front and rear flanges off your old props

I haven't done it but when I was going to do it I scoured the web and the conclusion I came up with from some of the Aussie forums was a custom prop was the only option

would it be easier to try source a prop from one of the late R32 GTS-T's that came with ab rb25? (Not sure how many were produced though)

Out of interest Paul, did you get a one piece made up?
