VW Peacock prop bolt

Prop mounting flange on our Mono is held by a single bolt onto the crank of the Peacock VW. Assume this is the pulley end of the VW. Prop turns clockwise from front so which way should the central bolt go for removal as car VW seems to be conventional right handed thread Any thoughts much appreciate...

Monoplane tyres

Hi, need to source new tyres/tubes for a Taylor Mono 4.10/3.50-5. I seem to be in mobility scooter territory! I'm sure these wheels aren't unique so.....
-do I need a minimum of 6 ply or will 4 ply be good enough?
-any suggestions on suppliers?
Any steer appreciated

VW Carb, Stromberg replacement

Just bought a Taylor monoplane with a Solex 30AHJ carb on a Peacock conversion VW 1600. Looking to replace with a Stromberg cd 150. There appears to be a 150, 150s and 150se
What are other folks using on a VW and any pitfalls I should look out for.
Cheers
