Can anyone tell me if Franklin and early continental prop flange dimensions are the same. I have a 80 hp Franklin that I'm overhauling for the Peit that I,m building.I saw a photo in the image library of an A-65 and the flange and snout look very similar, I guess what I need is the bolt circle and snout diameters of the A-65. This list is a great thing, I've learned a lot just by reading in on the questions and answers. Thanks-Ed Grentzer Palm Harbor Fl.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 05:59:10 -0700 (PDT)
