I am using a UHS spinner right now with my Warp Drive. I think it is a 12 ",
as it is slightly smaller than the speed cowl. I am using a 2" spacer with
mine, but have about 3/4 " clearance from the cowl. Unlike your advice, I
did my cowl per MAM's instructions before I bought my prop and spinner. I
believe I could get away with a 1 " spacer and cut back slightly the back
side of the spinner. However, I think the extra mass of the 2 inch spacer
might be helping to keep the Warp from cracking with the O320.
I would like to get a Sensenich as a second prop, and then compare
performance to my Warp Drive. I will need a new spinner then, so wasn't sure
if UHS made them for these as well. I would prefer one that has all the
holes cut out, which is the way it came for my Warp Drive. That made it very
easy to install and it fit perfectly. It was also perfectly centred and
balanced, which probably wouldn't be the case if I had to cut it.

Bob's 10" UHS spinner was for the original style "piper" nose bowl.
For the speed cowling, MAM's spinner is actually 13" in diameter to match
the premoulded "circle" in the speed cowling (even though it seems to be
referred to as a 14" spinner for some reason by MAM!). UHS does not sell a
13" but has a huge 14" spinner, that I recently had to replaced on a
customer rebuild job (only because it got smushed in the nose
over!). Seems
to work okay, now that UHS is laying up a few extra layers of fiberglass
during their construction in comparison to their earlier ones.
Walter, I will send you a couple shots of the 14" installed on a Rebel.
Although it also has the original style piper bowl on it, but needed a 14"
spinner to clear the hub for a 4 blade Warp Drive!

Was this for the speed cowl?

Walter and all: Yes I bought a 10" UHS spacer from Wayne O. and I am
real
happy with it. I did have to cut the slots for the prop blade ,a
Sensenich
metal 74"-58" pitch, But it real was not difficult. Just take
your time and
cut & fit, cut & fit. Dermal tools are worth their weight in gold.-Bob
