Subject: Fw: Spinner Backing Plate

I have a prop. spinner backing plate with 500 + hrs. I found cracks around the mounting holes ( at the prop hub ).   I did not install the doubler kit sold by Lancair.   I know this is an ongoing problem for many other builders as the plates crack with or without the kit and sometimes with less hours.
My question is this-- has anyone made one out of carbon fiber for the 320/360 series with a constant speed prop? I know Brent Reagan made one for his LNC4, but we all know Brent can make anything.
I would appreciate any input  positive or negative, about fabricating one out of carbon fiber for the 320/360 series.
Thanks,
Bucky Whittier
