But you might want to check with IVO about the requirement to inspect the 'witness tapes' before each flight. Unless they've found a way to radically improve their blade clamping, it's gonna get really old removing the spinner before each flight...

(Been there, done that with a couple of IVO's; caution is advised.)

Spinner choice is a function of the airplane and prop hub (for backing plate hole pattern).  It has nothing to do with the reduction drive per se.   The hub on all RD1x drives is an SAE 2 , same as all Lycoming engines.
 
 Van's Aircraft would be happy to sell you a spinner with all the necessary backing plates.  Tracy

    Hello...

    I need a spinner for my 105mph airplane which has a ground
    adjustable ivo with tracys rd1b.  i've tried to contact uhs spinners
    but they have not returned email or phone messages.

    For other tractor airplanes using tracys reduction drives, what
    spinner did you choose?  Did you need aback plate as well?

    Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Thank you.
