I just purchased it (used) as a spare for my -4 & haven't flown it yet. The hub is 4 1/2" thick & it has 7/16" bolt holes. I did not get any prop bolts with it, so you're on your on with mounting it. :-) If you want to use it I'll try to find an economical way to ship it, or maybe Bill can fit it in the back of his -6 when he comes to visit his daughter here in MS.
