Default Catto + Cummins Aluminium Spinner ?

Hi Axel,
Just ordered my Catto 2 blade prop for the -4 ! The only thing I didn't request was their spinner, any updates on the Cummins/Catto solution ?

Default Catto/Cummins Spinner Updates ?

Nothing heard regarding the Catto/Cummins spinner combination. I tried to call and email Allan with no success !
Axel or Allan, do you have any more updates please ?

I've ordered a Catto 2 blade propeller and Nicole just informed me that it should be here in about 6 weeks, an aluminium spinner would be a superb addition !

Any information would be gratefully received.

All,
I worked with Allan and Craig to get this combo going. I provided Allan a template for the 2 and 3 bladed prop. Allan sent me an aluminum cut out piece with the rolled edge back in Apr and he decided to make a small change based on how the trial cutout fit. He was supposed to send me another trial piece but I have not heard back. I am sure he is busy. I also had some unfortunate life events and still dealing with my oil temps.

Thumbs up Cummins/Catto Spinner En-route !

Axel/Allan, great work, thank you for your efforts it seems all has paid off since the spinners are now in production !
My Cummins/Catto aluminium spinner is complete and hopefully en-route to the UK.
Final question AX-O, which spinner "front plate" did you find worked best with the "current" Catto design propeller ? Mine is only a couple of months old !

Get the one from vans. Craig can send you one with the prop.

Break

The 3 blade trial spinner should be here soon. Allan sent it last week.

I am glad this combo is available. Should make a lot of people happy.

Default Spinner frontplate ?

Hi Axel,
Prop has already arrived, spinner is en-route.
I've already got the S-605 front plate which is 10 7/8 " diameter. However it looks like the S-605 SEN which has a slightly larger is the one I need !
If able could you confirm either the part no. or the diameter ?
Brilliant job in getting this combo together, thanks.

Default Cummins/Catto 2 blade spinner !

Allan, my spinner arrived today, thank you !
It is indeed a work of art.
For the standard FP -13 spinner Nicole at Catto confirmed that the S-605 is the correct forward bulkhead for their current propeller !
Brilliant work Allan/ Axel, totally complimentary to my Catto 2 blade prop.
Can't wait till I'm sat behind such a lovely combination.
