Most of us with 2180's on Sonerai II's use a prop that is between 52" and 54" in diameter, and between 46" and 50" of pitch. On my IIL I have a Sterba 52 x 46. A lot of guys run 52x48. What are you looking for?

I have a S-II with an Aerovee 2180. Using a Sterba 54X46 that seems to work well. My buddy has a KR2 with a Revmaster 2.1, same prop.

These have SAE-1 bolt patterns, which might not be suitable for a retrofit without also replacing the flange. |

When i got mine hub spacer made i just went down to local machine shop and got them to spin one up. I took them the crush plate for a template and told them how thick i need the spacer. Once they had the hub made with the bolt pattern i got them to drill 1" hole in between the bolt pattern to lighten it up a bit. Works good and only cost 200.00
I have a picture of it before i installed it, although i am not sure how to post it on here.

Revmaster states that there bolt circle is 4-3/8" (4.3875") and the Aero conversions states 4.000" So i would have a strong assumption that they are not compatible. For 330$ you could have one made with the exact bolt pattern for your prop. Measure the diameter of the Bolt circle on your prop and you will be able to tell what you have. Also does your prop flange have the pop lugs or just straight bolts??
