What 'box is going in? The standard 1200 prop is 2" shorter than a 997 prop (coz of the synchro on first)

 

105speed does new stronger props, and people who have used them have had nothing but good to say. This is the one I would recommend.

well i got a 1200 precrossflow in it and a gearbox of a 1600 mk2 cortina

Get yourself a prop off a 1200 and it should fit straight on.

[w p e]

1200 super prop straight fit if you can get one

[Smudger105e]

As they said, 1200 prop will fit straight on. But for quality get one off 105speed.com!! They are well balanced and stronger than a standard prop..

will that fit my gear box? cause mine is out of a 1600 cortina

Thanks for the recommendations guys, it is appreciated.

 

As Pete (Anglia66) has said you can just used the prop from a 1200 Anglia, but the second hand price on these is usually around the £30 mark.

 

As for having your 997 one shortened most prop places will charge almost as much to shorten one as they will to make a new one by the time someone has cut it, rewelded it and balanced it its almost as much as a new one.

 

As people say the ones we do are uprated, they are basically a 2.5" tube as opposed to the original 2" shaft, what this does is gives more stability at higher revs which makes for a much smoother drive, the UJ's are uprated and have their own grease nipples in them so they can be regularly maintained so the joints last longer and dont seize up which leads to vibrataion and wear in diff bearings aswell as problems with the gearbox oil seal.

 

There is no problem with the gearbox as they 4 speed box from the cortina is the same number of splines as the original Anglia box.

 

We will turn one round for you in 4 working days and there is a £12 charge for next day delivery.

 

 

 

Wayne, out of interest I got the guys who do all my props to run the spec of the standard Anglia shaft through their simulation software to see at what point it all goes bertie....

 

It came back and said 5200rpm.... just bear that in mind when its whizzin round under your arse I know in the real world you've had it on the car for years with no problem but by modern safety standards for manufacturing thats the point the shaft should start to become unstable and there is a high risk breakage.
