Huge is a relative term. The Midget Mustang spinner on my RV-4 (which Kelly pointed me to) is a 16" spinner. It's well made and polishes up pretty nice.

Kelly, the spinner is a huge 14” diameter to cover the clamping plates of 4-Blade Warp Drive HP propeller.  The spinner came from a Warp Drive recommended OEM, can’t remember the name right now, but it was somewhere around Toronto/Mississauga Ontario …  Jeff

Here are the only photos available right now ... you can see the change in the cowl openings. Originally the RX7 cooler was sitting on top of the PSRU; at this location the PSRU plate behind the cooler was blocking too much of the exit air. So I first installed a Fluidyne oil cooler on left side of engine - this alone did not work, but with the second cooler installed around the spinner center and the reduced opening behind the spinner ... success! I can take some photos with the cowls off when I get home from business, if you wish to see them.
