I want to thank everybody for their thoughts and opinions on this matter. It has been a feast as far as food for thought and has left my head a spinnin'...maybe if I could attach that onto the prop it would be a cheaper solution but then what would prop up my hair?
After much thought and reflection I have chosen to bend over and purchase the approved parts from the least expensive sources I could find. After all, to attach the forward spinner bulkhead, the prop bolts have to be removed and my A&P has to do that job (or has to supervise me if I do it) and that would put him in a precarious position. I could not ask him to sign off on a project on my aircraft using non approved parts.
I believe the prices I am paying for my spinner and most other parts we all pay for in General Aviation is a reflection of the litigious society in which we live in. After all, if a moron gets in an aircraft and does something stupid, it's not his fault...the blame lies squarely on Cessna, Continental or Lycoming, Precision Airmotive, the people on the ground, his mother, father and all of his ancestors and previous acquaintances...
Sorry...I forgot to breathe...
Again, Thank you to all ...
I Love this Club
