See what I mean about a little experimenting?
Hey Silver,
This was the first prop I had ever tried to shorten like that. I figured I couldn't use it as a 23 x 8, so what did I have to loose?

I won't hesitate from now on to nip a bit off the tips to get the r's up where I want them. Talk about customizing.......

No trouble getting it to balance afterwards either.
