You don't need the tail cone but you do need the thrust pin. HOWEVER, the tail cone holds in the thrust pin.SO: You can take a long 5/16 stainless Allen head screw and cut off most of the threads. Then, take a 5/16 nut and grind one flat to clear the prop. Screw in the Allen head bolt.. The bolt you buy should have ABOUT 1 1/2 inches unthreaded--or the diameter of the hub where the pin goes through.
