Jacoolw Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I ordered a eprop for my Zenith with Bailey v5 but it does not fit. The studs and bolt is too short, the eprop has a thicker base, maybe 0.5 to 1cm thicker than the standard parajet 130cm prop. Anyone else here using a eprop on a bailey v5, did it fit, or did you fit longer studs and bolt? They said I can return the prop and they will send one with the correct base, but I'm in NZ so it will take weeks before I can get a new one.

jock Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 you need tool that can grip the stud.mole grips might do it,but prob mark the shaft,a bit of heat will help.put some cloth over stud before you try with grips,looks m8 or m10 thread,looks like quick relase hub 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza1111 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I made some new studs for mine and got a longer bolt. The old studs came out easy enough- a bit of emery cloth on wrapped round them and pliers did it. Now it will fit any thicker prop. (Which are Norma cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
