Finished spinner!
Did more countersinking and installed more nut plates. I also riveted the back plates to the spinner after checking the clearance one more time. The spinner is now complete and looks excellent.
Now for the moment of truth. I’ve had the spinner on for a while but have been afraid to install the cowl. I fitted the cowl without installing the prop or spinner, so it was a bit of a guessing game. Well, it turned out much better than I expected–maybe even perfect.
Even the gap looks really good.
This thing is really starting to look like a plane.
From there I started working on installing the camlocs, primarily on cutting the backing strip.
