Dave,

    The only place that I am personally aware of weights being placed is on
the spinner back plate.  I presume that adding weight to the flywheel of a
direct drive would also work (such as Lycomings) but as you point out not on
PSRUs.

   Frequently nuts and washers are put on the back of the nut plates holding
on the spinner or since my spinner was so close to the cowl, the drilled
holes in the back plate and put in small bolts.
