Cheers mate.

As for the prop I think there is a different pattern on the gearbox end of the prop as I had to change mine when I went from M42 to M20, and I think that Swirly had to get an M42 prop when he converted from M40. Don't know the exact differences though!

different connection to box on the 325 and 318 also the prop on the 325 is shorter

Swirly still has his M40 prop, not sure if he's dismantled it into 2 pieces tho (balanced units!)
