Hey guys I just finished converting my Ryobi 31 with Wacker parts. The parts are great, well machined and fit the engine perfectly I highly recomend the stuff.

What I need help with is finding a hub for the engine. I am puttin this on a 1/7 p47 thunderbolt and as you know it has a hub not a spinner. Does anyone know where or from whom I can find a hub that will fit the threads on my Ryobi?

Don, Is your engine a long or short shaft?

Donald

You can buy a prop hub for the Ryobi form Jag Engines at www.jagengines.com. They cost $11.00 for long shaft engines and $17.00 for short shaft engines. I to have converted my Ryobi using wackerengine parts and they are great and so is Peter. You just might e-mail him and he my be able to put one together for you. Peter is going to mill down and balance two flywheels for me that I am sending him on my next order. Good luck

Don, you dont need the hub itself but your looking for a squirrel nut in place of a spinner right?

Don

I know the type you are looking for and Jag Engines has them. They are a prop hub with small a spinner type nut over the prop just like the P-47 used. Take a look and you'll see. I still think Peter at wackerengines is also a good bet for you.

Great guys thanks for the help. I went to Jag and saw what they have and that is just what I need. One quick question though. The picture that JAG has on their site for the long shaft engine looks like the hub is place over the shaft nut. What hold it to the nut, surely it's not just a pressed fit I would hate to have a 2oz piece of metal flying at me.

I do not know for sure if it is a push on or not. I would e-mail them and ask. I use the short shaft model so I don know for sure.
