The REK has been around for a long time...probably 20 years....It was also called the Irwin....It is K&B based with a bit of angle on the mount plate....It used K&B shafts and prop bearings......The Hyperformance K&B prop bearing fits and is bulletproof just like the O.S. prop bearing....
The water pick up has to be extended because the Hyperformance bearing is a bit longer than the K&B.....
I believe Joe at Zipp is going to try to put together a deal with REK to offer them.....Joe will have to comment on that....
As of now nobody , that I know of , is selling them..........
It is made of composite and it is tough as nails and light weight......the shaft tube is brass molded in and is a size smaller than the teflon tube in a K&B...
This gives a lot of support to the cable and the unit really retains shaft grease and it doesn't wash out.....
I would bet there is a lot of them out there still sitting in the bottom of the old K&B parts drawers......
You just have to find them.....I have easily found 4 of them for testing.......
I don't remember how much they were but . I do remember it was a very good price......
