jetpilot12 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 I'm in the process of updating my 1963 M20C and just found a crack in the spinner. I stop drill it, so it's ok for now. I would like to replace it with a spinner that is not so blunt. One with a little more of a point. Can anyone tell me if there is one available? Do I need a 337?
MB65E Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Good luck. The 201 spinner is available but looks silly (on a C) and costs a Ton. In the Type certificate, there are several spinners listed, you could run anyone of them with just a logbook entry. Check W&B too. I ran into an issue with mine cracking too. I found a deal on eBay, but ran into a front bulkhead issue with fit. Hartzell "says" they never manufactured the front bulkhead spinner, however I think Globe made them for hartzell under license. The front bulkhead I felt was necessary due to the moment of the larger spinner. The offset of the front bulkhead is diffrent on the straight -1 hartzell hub vs the -1BF hub we have on the Moonies. Piper made a fiberglass spinner for the Arrow, that would be great if somebody could manufacture one... The store bought solution is a 2.5k hartzell 201 spinner... Ugg!! -Matt

kerry Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 I have this spinner. I'm not sure if it's more pointed than the one you have now. PM me if you're interested in it. http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/000825736.html
Steve65E-NC Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 I see that you do not have a cowel closure but still have the open front. I have the Lasar cowel closure that closes the bottom of the maw but still uses the original spinner. However, there is another cowel closure STV'd mod that changes the opening to two more or less rectangular forms (Ari?????). As I recall that mod does include a different and more pointed spinner. Perhaps someone on Mooneyspace has that mod and can refer you to a gallery with photos.
N601RX Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 Here is the link to the ari mod. I had looked seriously at it before I found a true 201 cowl. The ari closure itself is pretty reasonable, but the 201 spinner you have to buy to go with it is about 2k. If you I can find a used spinner it would be much more reasonable. https://www.aeroresourcesinc.com/account/index.php/productss2?sub2=Mooney 1
FloridaMan Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 I believe that ARI mod requires the J spinner; if you've got a Hartzell prop, you're looking at $2500+ for that spinner assembly as used ones are generally unavailable.
Alan Fox Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 I have a used correct spinner and backplate , Call me if interested , 856 419 5209...
jetpilot12 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Posted December 5, 2014 Does it make a difference if I have a McCauley Propeller? I don't realy want to spend 2K for a new spinner. My main gole is to find a spinner without any cracks. It would be great if I could find one to fit that had a little more of a point. None the less, I'm looking to replace the one I have.
FloridaMan Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 I am not fully qualified to make this statement, but I would assume that a McCauley propellor would be very easy to find a "J" spinner assembly for. The reason for the lack of availability for the Hartzell propellor is that very few J models came with Hartzell props (IIRC, only a few early ones with Q-tip props had them). 1
bonal Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 328 your cowl is the same as mine is the top piece also a LASER part. Nice looking plane you have there by the way. J 1
gsxrpilot Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 http://mooneyspace.com/gallery/image/35689-/ I believe this is a J cowl with a very pointy spinner on my '64 C.
Wakeup Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 What's a 201 spinner? My M20B is different then most B and C's I have seen. Long and pointed. Thanks Troy
bonal Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 Gotta post a pic Wakeup so we ca see your spinner
Marauder Posted December 9, 2014 Report Posted December 9, 2014 Gotta post a pic Wakeup so we ca see your spinner Take a look in his gallery. He has a 201 spinner. Never knew those could be retrofitted on an original cowling.

jetpilot12 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 Thank you for the help guy's, but I'm still in need of a spinner. I need a spinner made for a McCauley two blade prop. I need one in good condition without cracks. My parts manual shows part # 835-20 Thank you
bonal Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 I would say to give Dan a call at Lake Aero Styling 707 263 0412 they are likely closed for the holiday but I think they have a couple used ones that fit your set up 2
jetpilot12 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Posted December 24, 2014 Thank you!!! I will give them a call after the holidays
