BT 32B Prop Driver
Has Fuji changed the design of the aluminium prop driver on the 32 B? I finally got my engine yesterday, and the surface for the prop is smooth. (beautiful CNC lathe work, though) I did find an abrasive washer in the bag, which, I assume is used as a washer between the prop and the driver. Is this more effective than the serrations machined in the earlier drivers? There is no part number associated with the disk, so if replacement is necessary will they be availabe?
If this is a temporary fix, will there be replacement drivers available in the near future? (geez, so many questions!)
All in all, it is a fine looking engine. I am looking forward to cranking it up on the nose of my Super Decathlon.

RE: BT 32B Prop Driver
The abrasive disc is used between the prop spool and the propeller. They can be easily replaced if they are damaged or lost. They rarely would wear out. This is not a "stopgap" measure. That's how they come. The smooth face allows them to get them machined absolutely true, which was not quite possible with the cast spools.
