I had one step forward today and two steps back. I hung the engine today on my Patrol to begin working on the engine cowl. WHen I was looking at the nose bowl and the spinner I had, I discovered I had a size mismatch from what I though I had. I have a Lycoming o-360 wide deck out of a 1964 Cherokee 180. I also have the spinner and Sensenich 16EM8 series propeller from the Cherokee. I had originally though the spinner was 14" for some reason but it is not. I had ordered the node bowl from Mark to work with a 14" spinner. The spinner is actually 12". I am looking for suggestions.
1) Get a different node bowl that would be closer to fit the spinner I have
2) Modify the current nose bowl to fit the cherokee spinner.
3) get a new spinner to fit my nose bowl. If I was to get a new spinner. To fit the 14" nose bowl. Do you have a suggestion on a spinner. The cherokee spinner I have is old and if I had to replace it later. getting another one is expensive.
