Trust Plate
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:38 pm
Bruce have you actually fitted the spinner and determined you need 1/2"
spacers or reading some assembly instructions?? Unless MAM has changed the
spinner again, this shouldn't be necessary. I have fitted both versions that
I know exist. The original had a front bulkhead "cone" that had to slip
inside the bore of the E-26 to center it. Then they changed to a proper
front bulkhead that bolted on with the prop bolts. The bolt on one worked
out perfect, for position, with the Sensenich prop that is about 4" thick. I
bolted it right onto the front of the prop and I sandwiched it between the
prop and the E-26. IF using a McCauley prop I could see needing 1/2" spacers
as they are usually 3 1/2" thick, as are other Sensenich props, but not the
heavy DM prop that you would have ordered through MAM. IF your bolts come up
slightly short you can counterbore about 1/2 way through that E-26 to give
you more grip. The E-26 squash plate is very important to spread the load or
the bulkhead will be quick to crack around the prop bolts!

plateI ordered a Sensenich metal prop from MAM, and they sent an E-26 thrust
it(or crush plate for a wood prop) with the spinner kit. Grant, at MAM, said
awas to provide more frontal attachment area for the front bulkhead of the
spinner. I would prefer not to use the E-26 thrust plate. Does anyone see
plateproblem with this?
The front bulkhead of the spinner is spaced off the front of the prop with
1/2" spacers, to make it fit up against the spinner. If I use the trust
**on the front side of the forward spinner bulkhead, the prop bolts will not
engage enough thread in the prop flange. I could buy larger bolts (AN&-64
instead of AN7-60) but why have the extra weight of the trust plate if not
necessary.
