Hi Kelly,
First, cover the spinner with ceran wrap. Place  it on flat surface an= d lay 2-3 layers of glass about 6-8” starting from the bottom. Basical= y you are reproducing the area of the spinner that needs cutting. Pop it off= when cured.
Now you can cut loose holes in this this fiberglass piece to be able to sli= p it over the blades an fit to the spinner plate.
Than cover the root of each blade with duct tape. Lay some glass to cover t= he gaps between the fiberglass piece and the blades. Remove after cure. Slip= the fiberglass piece over your aluminum spinner and you have a perfect temp= late matching your prop..

Thank yo= u, Bulent.  I was just getting to fitting my $210 carbon fiber spinner = that I got from Klaus.  Didn’t want to screw that up.  Of co= urse with the composite spinner I could ‘patch’ the fit after cu= tting the spinner, but this may be a better way.
