The parts catalog refers you to Cessna Single Engine Bulletin SE70-1, affecting your airplane (and mine). There are some UNAPPROVED copies on the market, so be careful what you buy. Read the codes!
That spinner in the Wag-Aero catalogue isn't an approved part. I'm told it has to be an approved part to be installed on a certified aircraft. That spinner can be installed on an "experimental" aircraft...so I'm told.
What if I'm doing an experiment on my aircraft...

Go for it Friends don't tell. I got one off a 75M with a crack in it if that will help. Its been welded but not ground down to remove the evidence.
Is the spinner and associated plates optional equipment on your plane. I know it is on my 66 model. While some people don't like it, I like being spinnerless and pantless!
Who is ultimately responsible for the airworthiness of the aircraft?
Pilot / Owner correct?
"I have inspected this spinner assembly, (P/N, S/N), and have determined this assembly to be airworthy for use on my personal use aircraft, (S/N), registered in my name."
Signed by the owner/pilot along with his certification number.
