Firewall Forward Kit - Propeller

Spinner completed ( 3 hrs )

Loosened Spinner Plate from Prop Hub (actually removed nuts and washers so completely "off") so I could rivet Gap Fillers per Sect 44-07, Step 7.   Re-assembled & torqued Hub bolts/nuts to 21 ft-lbs per Hartzell Manual Table 3-1.  Trial fit Top Cowl to check gap to Spinner Plate.   Marked Spinner to trim to match edge of Spinner Plate.  Re-installed Spinner and sanded flush to edge of Plate completing Step 8, Sect 44-08.   Now done with Propeller and Spinner!

checking with Top Cowl to insure clearance, and

similar overhang on Spinner.   ( after this pic,
