Mark,

I just finished fitting my spinner and I used the cutout to make the filler from what was left and I think I got it right. Have a look for yourself

I believe that the AL used as a filler is structural.

I used aluminum and then plated it to the spinner.

One suggestion, do not run the engine without the spinner in place as you run the risk of ripping those fillers off. This happened to a friend and fellow RV builder.

The prop and spinner look good.

I don't see which model you are building, but I just finished fitting my spinner a few months ago (RV-7A). I built my filler from aluminum but I am sure I read in the instructions that the cut out fiberglass could be used if it was large enough. (Look in the instructions prose for fitting the spinner). Granted my plans are 8 years old.
