Re:

rob0r is right b20 prop and b20 linkage as the gearbox is slightly shorter. The m10 prop is 4 mm to short or too long. Can't remember what way but its definitely 4mm :)

Hmm what can I do or should I do. It would be a temporary rad if I used the m40 one till I can buy a nice shiny good one. So to fit it I need m20 hoses ? Can I use some universal hoses ? Need to work out something a Asap as I wanna insure it and drive it as it's sitting for months now
