I am lost, here. Do you guys all have threaded prop flanges?
My prop has go-through bolts, which are locked on the aircraft side using
castle nuts and cotter pins.

Objet : RE: KR> Prop Bolts
As I understand it, Brian is correct. I have always used Standard AN
bolts for prop bolts. I have also received Standard AN bolts from the
prop manufacturer with the prop. Of course you can always safety any AN
bolt with a drilled head properly without having the holes directly lined
up. Special prop bolts make it fool proof with the additional holes
drilled in the heads.

According to the Aircraft Spruce catalog the difference is that the heads
have safety wire holes drilled in three directions instead of just one
hole
like normal drilled head bolts. This is to give you a better chance of
getting the safety wire in the correct position for a good lock. Of
course,
this is only important when you are putting the bolts into a threaded prop
hub. When you are using nuts on the back of the bolts like the Great
Plains
hub it doesn't really matter.
