I have
a wood prop with a 3/8" crush plate. I used a piece of carbon pre-preg and cut
it to fit the inside of the spinner at the location of the crush plate. I also
cut a hole 1/8" larger than the diameter of the crush plate. Using a mixture of
epoxy and flox, I bonded the bulkhead to the spinner. Again using the epoxy/flox
mixture, I filled the de-cored ID of the bulkhead and built up a generous amount
to make up for the 1/16" gap and installed the spinner (after first covering the
crush plate with cellophane packing tape). The next day I removed the spinner
and packaging tape. After a little sanding to remove sharp edges, I had a
perfect fit.

I agree with Jim Rogers. I have felt for some time
that the fibreglass spinner is much too flimsy with no forward bulkhead.
In fact I have had to replace the spinner back up plate on my 360 due to the
spinner wobbling and cracking the plate. It lasted just over 100
hours.
I will be very interested to see what the group has to say
about it an if there is a spinner available with a forward
bulkhead.
