96117 : BLADE BOLT w/SPACER
BLADE BOLT w/SPACER
Reduce from 5mm to 4mm
HERE
Check the width of two together (call matt @ midlands)
Hope this helps -
I need the hole in the brass bit of the blade 5mm therefore I need it bigger not smaller......ImageUploadedByTapatalk1307886465.564816.jpgComment

Its possible to turn the adapters (96117) around and use a 4mm bolt.Can you not remove the brass sleeve? some manufacturers allow this..rotortech + CYE. Check first though as some blades need the sleeve.

If that's a 4mm hole on that bush then I bet the bush diameter has plenty of meat to overdrill the bush to 5mm...it's only 1/2 mil each wall that look about 2mm thickPGK

Another solution would be to get one of the brass sleeves with outside diameter of 5mm and inside diameter of 4mm and cut it intoOriginally posted by wadders View Post
little slices the width of the blade grips (or slightly less), so you can then use a 4mm bolt and a much wider choice of blades. :-) (this
is really the best solution all things considered)Last edited by trillian; 21-06-2011, 12:56 PM.Kasama, Minicopter, Henseleit, JR, Shape, Beam

Thats a good idea..........didnt think of that!Originally posted by trillian View Post
would there be any concerns for "strength" though???????????Comment

No problem with strength as long as you're using good 4mm bolts. My Robbe Futuras have 4mm bolts and they are 60 size helisOriginally posted by wadders View Post
running 690mm blades. All the 50 size helis I have use 4mm bolts.Kasama, Minicopter, Henseleit, JR, Shape, Beam

That's a point, the bolts....are their specific 4mm bolts to be used on the blade grips? I had 4mm bolts before and when I took them out they were bent....... Not normal??Comment
