You're only a few miles away from from Dai - ClassicSwede. He may well know somewhere fairly local who can shorten your prop or may even have one, either ready to fit or that can be shortened to allow you to swap straight over.

Front section from an automatic is the same part number.

also the amazon is my daily driver and i have no other means of transport so taking it off the road while i let some guy chop the prop which may or may not work leaves me struggling with buses and taxi's to get to work and back twice a day for my split shift..any work done needs to be completed in a weekend so take off and bolt on procedures are the ideal really

You may or may not need to get the whole assembly balanced after my half is mated with yours.

Thus it may or not be worthwhile for me to send you this one.

Let me know your thoughts.

Chris
thats a great offer thanks but due to the potential import tax on top i will try and source one localy first if not would it be possible to get back in touch and take you up on your offer in a week or so? (hope you dont think its too cheeky) thanks for all your help so far
