Re: Help please on prop

that's a heck of a prop.... I'm sure it has some sort of purpose but heck if I know what.... It looks like it might be variable of otherwise adjustable.... I don't see any way your exhaust could come through the hub....
My guess is that it's an old sales gimmick but I dunno it coould be the next best thing to scrambled eggs....... Either way it's neat as heck..... I'm stealing your pic
