    Hub kit question

    Serial 2B733457. I changed my prop today and noticed my hub was broken. So I replaced it with a new one. I read on here in the past that sometimes the heat will allow the cushioning strips ? to come loose and that they could be glued back on. What type of glue/adhesive would a person use for this ? Also should the old adhesive be removed before reapplying ?

    I use High Temperature RTV from the auto parts store. Clean all surfaces with lacquer thinner.

    Also -- I will roughen up the glue side of strips with emery cloth to help the glue get ahold.

    Good point! I also glass bead the metal surfaces to help with adhesion, but not everybody has access to a blaster.
