Ah, so you want a propeller spider for a No.3 spline shaft.

I may be able to help. PM me with your contact details.

Hi Anon. We build an experimental homebuild aircraft with a V8 chevy engine and the Dehavilland prop. We will use a propgear and have to fix the prop with the original Alvis Leonides 3 spline propshaft. Aircraft should fly some day. The mandrel is an interesting thing. I wondered all the time how they do service and fix these big props in a repair shop. Here a pic of the gear with a smaler spline. We have to modify it with the 3 spline shaft.

I’m not quite sure what you want there, Harald. Do you want to mount a propeller on a stand or a wall or is it to go on an engine?

The mandrel I have is for mounting a propeller for servicing. It fits the bore of the propeller but does not have splines.

I think without the splines it wouldn’t be possible to mount the prop. Do you have such a part Anon? How does that look like – any pics possible? Thanks Harald

Does it need to have the splines or will a plain mandrel do?
