Hello everyone.

I would like to ask if it is relatively safe - and doable - to make a prop hub out of bronze/brass that takes place of the 10mm flywheel nut on a GX25. At least brass is stronger than aluminium, though heavier...
I'm maintaining the engine fully stock as possible (no cutting or grinding) as it's going to be placed on a hovercraft, and if need be, later on it can be returned to it's stock form with cowl, etc, for another application.

Thank you

Brass is OK, just heavier...No reason to use it unless you want the weight, aluminum works just fine....

Thanks.
I asked this because my machinist has mainly larger OD pieces in brass than in aluminium.

Cheers!
