DETAIL:

I purchased a spinner on ebay a couple weeks ago.  I got a pretty good deal. Got an 8" spinner & pre-drilled front and rear bulkheads for $60.

I had to cut the prop openings which proved to be a time consuming pain in the ass.  I whittled away at the spinner little by little with a die grinder.  When I got the opening to almost the shape I needed I finished it off with a dremel and medium grit sanding drum.

I then verified that the spinner was properly positioned and straight and then drilled holes for AN3 panhead screws.  I'll rivet some nutplates to the rear bulkhead next.
