• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I'm going to be replacing the metal prop on my Hatz with a wood prop with a different hub thickness, so I'll need new bolts. Is there any way to determine the required length short of pulling and measuring one of the existing bolts? Engine is O-290-D, with flywheel. I've found a drawing of the (#2) flange (.27" thick) and bushing length (1.02" from underside of bushing flange) but I don't know the flywheel thickness or the unthreaded counterbore depth in the front of the bushing. The new prop will be 3.5" thick, the old was 2.75, and the crush washer is 1/4" thick.

Are they standard AN6 bolts or do they need to be special prop bolts?
