On Bravo I props, are hubs interchangable? Can you replace a solid hub with a flo torque rubber hub?

If your running a brovo thier are 2 different shaft sizes to consider, but you can take out the hub and use another prop on it., some props have fixed hubs like cleavers, brovo 1 and trophy have interchangeable hubs i think

I found a prop for sale with a solid hub. I'm looking for a rubber hub.

I think Bravo X or 1's are the same. The XR has a different hub.

I like the extra security of having the hub rupture in the event to a rock strike rather than blowing up my drive. I least that's what I understand rubber hubs do.

I was told to run the plastic hub by my prop guy for the same reason
but the key is to not hit rocks or any thing like that
