Just need to confirm, tried the search function but couldn't find the info. I'm pretty sure someone said that if you change the flange on the m30 gearbox to the smaller one from the m20, the standard 325 prop can be used??? Does this apply to position 3 (furthest back) ? My prop man has swine flu and is taking forever to get it done for me :cry:

Blingsta,yes im using the 325i prop with engine in position 3,just swap the flanges over on the gearboxes but the flange must be off a M20/b25 box (b20 flanges dont fit) and you will need a deep slim 30mm socket :wink:
