It's blowing like mad here today and storms are expected tonight and tomorrow before a predicted weekend of good flying weather so I to the shop this morning and finished up my prop extension. It got stalled when I couldn't get good quality, i.e. not chicom and not carbon steel, taps but the UPS man brought me new ones from McMaster Carr first thing this morning. Specs: 2.5" long, 2024 T3 aluminum, everything concentric within .0005", ends (mount surfaces) parallel with .0002".
Now all I have to wait on is the metric 8.8 SHCS to mount it. I finally found a source that would sell me less than 100.
Before someone asks, the distance between flanges is too small to get a bolt in between that is long enough to go through the gearbox propeller flange with enough threads proud to use a lock nut so I drilled pass through holes for the heads of the SHCS and offset the propeller mount holes 30 degrees.
Now to deburr, degrease, alodine and it's ready to mount.

Rick, that's a beautiful piece of work. Would that every piece of
every aircraft were made as well -- for SURE, experimentals.
