Dom,
 
The application of heat may allow you to reform them back to a shape more like the original.  If you add al-u-min-ium tabs to the inside (riveted) of the fillets that would extend behind the spinner then the fillet tips should remain in place.  Perhaps reconstruct new ones out of carbon glass with a joggle that extends behind the spinner where it meets the fillet.
 
Good luck,
 
Grayhawk

The two spinner cone fillets of fibre glass have over time bent outwards inflight and need to be replaced.
One of them flared out to the point where it was rubbing slightly on the propeller.
Any recommendations whether fibre glass should be used in making replacements, or switch to aluminium? (sorry, we spell and pronounce it differently up here).
Thanks,
