Prop Shaft

[gn7]

GN7, with a split collar in front of the strut, how does the bushing get water to lube and cool? I can't imagine water being able to pass through the split at high rpm.

Hasn't proven to be a problem to date. The bushings last about the same amount of time as without the collar. We usually change the bushings during the spell between the Nov opener and the next race in March. Its our longest down time and that's when we do stuff like that and blast plates, steering cables, pulley bushings etc.

It larger than a split 2 bolt safety collar. Like I said, its 4 bolts, and it tapers. Its probably about 4X as long as a regular split color. You can just see it in front of the strut in this picture. Its actually rule in GN. Some are just stouter than others.
