[Public-list] Two vs.] 3 bladed prop

[Amy & David Swanson]

Hi -

I would be interested in some parts off your A4, depending on its vintage, 
condition, and price.

I would be interested in the flame arrestor & bracket off the carb, 
especially if it is the newer aluminum/zinc/pot metal carb (as opposed to 
cast iron).

I could use a GOOD exhaust manifold.  Preferably the older (pre-1970 type). 
If it is the newer type, I might still be interested but need to explore 
what other parts I would need to make it fit my motor.

I might also be interested in the following, depending on price - i.e. if no 
one else wants them & you are willing to bundle & sell them cheap enough:
- carb (what type?)
- water pump (what brand?)
- alternator and/or regulator, especially if the older motorola unit
- any gages/instrument panels - give me details.  Some of my gages have died 
& I have added seperate ones in various places but would love to have a 
single simple panel again.
- thermostat housing if older style

Anyway, let me know.  On your question, I would suggest sellling the prop 
off your A4 (if it is in good shape) & buying a used replacement, I think 
you will be a lot happier.  Many motors have a different reduction in 
reverse than forward (like your A4 did).
