Axle box

Actually, I asked what size axle cause I was gonna ship you a couple of openings for you ... just to add my support. Too bad your axle is 1/4 inch smaller.
The issue I found to making those openings is making sure the opening has no burs or nicks in the metal ... any imperfections cause it to tear. The other thing that helped was someone in the Sands builders forum mentioned about doing the bends in sections in stead of all at one time. So I made several passes to let the metal recover after each attempt. This helped too.

T am interested in having a prop like yours made. I will be running a 200HP Ranger also. Having the right prop will make all the difference.
