Hello
I am looking for a DH60 / Gipsy Upright engine Wooden Propeller “cut off hub” (ie cut down without blades) to suit mounting on a Display Gipsy I Engine.
(I already have a full prop and am not wanting to buy another full prop or cut one down, these hubs used to be made into decorative pieces, and still surface from deceased estates etc)
Someone may have one in their home collection or have seen one in a local antique store etc?
8 Mounting holes, Left Hand (LH) Rotation (as seen from the Engine or Cockpit)
The Hub dimensions are approximately 170mm diameter across the front, and approximately 275mm diameter across the rear.
(Note there is a similar Gipsy Major prop that is also 170mm diameter across the front but only 230mm diameter across the rear, I am not after that prop/ hub)
Stampings may include:
– LH
– Gipsy Moth
– Gipsy
– Gipsy I
– Gipsy II
– Gipsy III
– DH60
– DH60G
– DH60M
– DH60 Moth
– 43886
– 57730
– 57826
– 67575
– DH5166
– DH5174
– DH5178
– DH5180
– Z64
– Z100
(I purchased the one in the photos below but the Ebay Global Shipping Program managed to lose it in transit – avoid using them like the plague and trust normal surface mail!)
