i used an m42 box barry which needs 325 front section

but iirc the m40 box is slightly shorter than the m42 so 320 front section is needed 8)

A 320i prop it is then.

I believe all the rear sections are the same.

They are mate, but as you prob well know you're best off using a whole item as they are balanced and marked as such :)
