Does anyone know where I can get a propeller blade pin replacment for my BB Model spinner/yoke? It is 3mm by 10 or 11 mm. Trying to find anything metric in Wyoming is an act of futility.

Thanks for your help

3mm is .118". 1/8 rod is .125". The difference is .007".

You should be able to chuck a piece of 1/8 rod into your drill and sand it down to the proper diameter with NO problem at all. (poor man's lathe).

If you've got a second person to drive the drill, you can "lathe file" the rod and do the job even faster.

Some Day, this country will gain some sanity and drop the moronic system we have and go metric. Personally, they can't do it fast enough for me.

Thanks for the suggestion. Alas, the pin is threaded and has a slotted head.
