Hi differs , finally got my hilux props . Put the rear on and it is smooth as it's ever been . Happy days
Unfortunately as expected the crossmember that's s shaped running under the front prop to the gearbox is too close . I think even if I put spacers on the tbox it would still touch . The only way I see it is to cut the s shape curve off and fix a 90 degree box section bolted and welded . What you think ?

what do you mean ? you can only see one in the pic the others are ok , i had to do a bit of straightening on the rear one today as it looked like i knocked it , but its sitting straight now . here's a question the 410 tbox , which i am running , is the brackets that mount the tbox the same as a 413 . i say this because the frame that was on there before i replaced with the 410 one . ?

Have you still got prop spacers on both front and rear? I can see you have on the back. I'm a bit confused as to why would you get custom props made and still run spacers?

No Scott that would be silly , they are measured to fit . That's the flange you see no spacers

Thought I'd update , I cut the curve off the member yesterday . To answer my own question the 410 bracket is the same as the 413 . I made a z shape member out of x 2 box section welded and bolted , will upload pics soon .
It works a treat . My front prop now fits and has plenty of room to move when need be.
