Hi guys this is how I did my rear hydroplanes if it of any use :
I mounted the planes on the shaft and secured them in the correct place and in line, then drilled through the hydroplane body into the brass shaft, then removed the planes and tapped the holes in the brass shaft 2 mm. Then got hold of some small 2mm countersunk machine screws and then countersunk the holes on the hydroplane body to match the screws, then fitted everthing together and put the screws in and tightened them up and hey presto solid on the shaft but easily removeable for maintenance etc.
