different tru turn adaptors for Saito 180
I'm in the middle of buying some new spinners from Tru Turn for my Saitos -- both are 4 stroke 180s, one from 1999 and the other is brand new. Tru Turn says I need different adpators for each. I like Tru Turn, no problems with them, but what is different from 1999 to 2006? The shaft (now listed as 8mm x 1.25mm) is the same since I swapped prop nuts on each and they worked fine. What am I missing?
thanks,
Waring Abbott

If the overall length and thread length on the crankshafts are the same, I don't see why both would not be interchangeable? Earlier 4 strokes had shorter crankshafts which did not use a second jamn-nut, but I believe the 180 has been the same since it's introduction.

I suggest you contact Tru Turn via e-mail with your needs.
I ran into a problem with a spinner and adapter I ordered for a Saito 82 based on info from their website. Nothing would fit except the crankshaft thread size was correct. After a couple of e-mails Tru Turn had me set up with the correct adapters and spinner for my use. Basically I had to re order everything, including two different adapters for use with different prop hub thicknesses.
