I purchased the Van's spinner kit for my new Prince Prop. I'm having a very difficult time aligning the spinner. Using a laser I can eliminate any wobble in the spinner. However, with the wobble eliminated the rear spinner edge does not align with the back edge of the rear bulkhead on one side. I end up with a 1/4" gap on the rear bulkhead.
I have sufficient gap spinner to prop. I've confirmed the bulkheads are parallel. I used the laser on both bulkheads to make sure they were not somehow twisted. I lightly sanded the inside of the spinner where the front bulkhead rests to eliminate any bumps or extra epoxy.
It's either the spinner aligns with the rear bulkhead and I get a wobble or no wobble but the spinner back edge does not align with the rear bulkhead. Is it possible Van's sent me a warped spinner? Any ideas or suggestions?
FYI, if you have the May EAA Sport Aviation magazine I'm the guy on page 75
