[V8] Wheels

[Bryan Kamerer]

Nick,

Believe you are correct, but as I mentioned this stock was for the propeller
*shafts*, not the props themselves.  He told me it was some kind of titanium
stock they used to make couplers out of, or to shim the davits the props
turned in along the keel.  Something like that, but not at all extra prop
material.

V8 content: so when I went to G60 about, er, 00(?), I sold them to someone
on the list as I recall, so somewhere they are probably still floating on a
V8 somewhere.

Bryan
