Nope, that won't work without a spacer. Your only other option then is a forward bulkhead only spinner or a spacer. Maybe you can get by with a smaller skull cap style spinner, and still have it doing a good cooling job.

Thanks Walter,
The Vans one does look like the real deal, but I doubt I would be able to fit any rear facing bulkhead between my prop and nosebowl. I have maybe 1/4 or 3/8" there. I may end up giving in to a prop spacer, but the thought of spending a couple hundred on longer prop bolts is annoying. This is one of many examples of how I will build my second airplane better: )

I have installed the fiberglass UHS, aluminum from MAM, and the Vans one on my engines. I much prefer the Vans. It is fiberglass, too, and I think you can trim the rear a bit if necessary to fit. I had the spacer on my prop, so just fitted the cowl to the prop and spinner. But it will depend on just how much space you do have between your nosebowl and prop. Maybe you can find an RV builder in your area, and check it out in person to measure. Or just call Vans.

After almost a year I'm finally seriously considering a spinner. Other than increasing my cruise speed by at least 20kts ; ) I'm hoping it will improve cooling in the climb. I have a fairly large opening in the nose bowl around the flywheel and I'm thinking enough high pressure air is going to the lower deck under the engine that its disturbing the pressure differential between upper and lower. Cht is fine in cruise, but in climb I go over 400 on #3 pretty easy.
Anyway, I'm looking for advice on spinners. I have an o320/Sensenich. The distance between the nosebowl and prop is minimal, and I really don't want to use a spacer so I either need a forward facing spinner bulkhead, or a uhs style spinner with no aft bulkhead. Has anyone used the aircraft spruce brand aluminum spinners? I can get one of those with a forward facing bulkhead.
Thanks.
Jesse

Hi Jesse. I'm on my 3rd UHS spinner. The first one was misdrilled by UHS but they replaced it for free even though it had been in service for about 4-5 years. The 3rd one I bought when I changed my engine and prop. I think they have a good product and I recommend it.

Jesse,

If you do buy new prop bolts, let me know because I have a source where
I got my 1/2" bolts for about a hundred. Yours should be cheaper. CW

Thanks Rick,
I think I'm going with the BN-3 with a forward facing flange on the rear bulkhead. Is that what you did, or did you build your cowl so you had enough room for the standard aft bulkhead?
How long did it take to get it from ACS?

Jesse,I installed the BN=3 spinner on my 320 and sensenich,with no prop spacer.The predrilled bulkheads fit perfect,good instructions ,everything went well,take your time cutting out the prop cutouts.I think I used a jigsaw ,anglegrinder and files. Rick R233
