Prop shaft mounting

[Vroopster]

Hi All, new member here. Any ideas please! My Mk 1 ZT 260 has suffered a failure of the centre mounting for the prop shaft which is now coming into contact with the exhaust (non-standard) causing a tinkling noise at low speeds and ungodly screech at high speeds. Any ideas where I can source one? Have tried rimmers. Any help appreciated.

Go Green. (I've not had the problem so I don't immediately know the answer :o) it should be in the members section.

WELCOME :D

When you're green there is loads to read.

Prop shaft bearings aren't available seperately....

You need to visit a prop company and see if they can split the prop and change it Try reco prop, been around years.

I think we used a Freelander unit to replace the one on the ZT520 it needed a little mod to fit but can't remember what.
