Does anyone make a prop shaft extension for a Saito .72? I am putting it in a Strega and want to move the motor 3/4 in aft to help CG issues. It will have to accept a jam nut and I plan on pinning the extension, spinner and prop as well.

nope, no help to be had there. I have 2 Brodak extensions, 1/2 ande 3/4 inch. I need the nut and jam nut to make it happen. Will probably have them machined locally if I cannot find some.

I've made a couple of shaft extensions for the 56. Same thimble (though you do have to enlarge the hole slightly) with what I called a 2-way nut. The nut on one end that reaches into the thimble and an extension on the other that will allow a Veco type spinner to attach without a coupling. Looks like a 2.25" long piece of steel tube that has a nut in the middle and is threaded down the middle. 7x1m on one side and 1/4-28 on the other. I've made them for some others in the Northwest.
