Simon doesn't seem to have a standard system, so the the way the sizes read depend on the type of prop. It's not at all logical, but there we are.

In each category there is a clickable link labelled 'Full description'. if you click on that a window opens up telling you how to read the data for each prop type.

I found the easiest way is to email or call if you're not sure. tell them what you need and they will suggest the right ones

BJ,
The link is correct and works but the image is blurred when enlarged to aid reading, probably needs to be re-posted at a larger size.

Using the link from Frank is probably the safest way of getting the prop you want and reading the code for each type of prop, failing that as others have said, give Simon a ring to make sure.


Best bet is to get one of their catalogues, hours of reading and stuff you didn't know at you fingertips anywhere.

 >:-o Hi,guys, has anyone had trouble with the Prop Shop site, I wanted to order a new steam prop, when I try to type in anything it does not register any letters, so I thought I would try again later but after leaving the site I could not type in anything at all on any site, I cured this by rebooting the computer and everything returned to normal, twice this has happened to me so might have  to phone them the order,has this happened to anyone else or is it just me, if it has happened to anyone do they know about it......Ray  :(( :(( :(( :((

Is Prop Shop still going ?


Sent 2 emails last week (using on-line contact on their web site) and telephoned a couple of times (Monday & Tuesday). No replies, no answers.


Maybe they are on vacation ?

Spoke to Simon today, who gave me the part numbers and told me to order on-line which I did, however I expected to get a confirmation email and just got the following, and nothing else  {:-{


"Please be advised that from Monday 21st September I no longer work for Swan, however my emails are being checked regularly and will be replied to"

Strange if that Email was from Simon, as he was on
the stand at Warwick.
Is there a bit of skuldugery going on from a disgruntled
ex employee stirring it?

Phew! No 'iggins = no Prop Shop. I wouldn't want to think about the alternatives - that's if if there are any.

Did you get your order ?
I see they took the funds 11th, but unless £4 is 2nd class postage for 2 props, they still havent arrived.

This from their Homepage:

"The popular propellers and accessories that we have in stock can usually be shipped out in a matter of days. However, because most propellers and accessories are hand made to order, delivery is typically 3 - 6 weeks from date of order."

They've never let me down. Have patience; their service has improved a great deal since Swan took over.
