M20J Spinner

[Alangj]

Hi everybody, I am getting somewhat desperate: Our M20J 201 spinner has developed a fatal crack (fatal for the spinner, not me). Anyway, I am having a great deal of difficulty locating a replacement spinner at a reasonable price. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Alan, if your cracked spinner is for the stock 2 blade McCauley I’d be interested in buying it for non-flying mock up use. I’d of course like to pay as close to zero plus shipping cost...

Hi, I have a brand new spinner for a two blade 1992 M20-J. Let me find it tomorrow morning and I’ll send you pics.

I'm looking for a reasonably priced M20J spinner bulkhead if someone happen to have one in stock (p/n : 680031-017) .

I got mine repaired but I would prefer to have a spare one in case it cracks again.

There is an aftermarket (ie Cessna) composite shop.  I’m sure they’d be willing to make a mold and part from your spinner as an OPP. 

[Alangj]

Thank you everybody for responding.

Status update: Loewen’s doesn’t have the part. I sent pictures of the cracked spinner to AeroSupport, inquiring about whether it’s repairable,  but they haven’t gotten back to me. We found a spinner from a 1977 M20J 201 (our’s is a 1985), which fits perfectly except the holes along the U-shaped prop blade cutouts do not line up. So, I guess we’re still looking for the perfect replacement. The prop is the standard McCauley for that year (#82D34Cbl4/PODHB-16E or -16EP*). If anybody has a potential replacement and has pix, I can tell by sight whether those cutout holes would line up or not. 

KS Mooniac - I would think we’d be happy to sell our cracked spinner. 

Alan Fox - I’m not certain what fair price is for these, but any reasonable price would be fine.

Check with Spinner Repairs 404-559-1946, www. spinner-repairs.com. They fixed a crack on a 172 spinner several years ago, and it's still looking good. 

[Alangj]

Guillaume, 

That is awesome. Thanks. Exactly what happened to our spinner. 

[Alangj]

RH Galyen, 

Thanks. I did send them a picture of the crack, but haven’t heard back. I’ll try again.

I just scrapped my McCauley 2 Blade for a Hartzell on my 1978J.

I have the spinner and backing plate and hardware. PM me your mobile number and I can send some pictures of it if you still need it.

I’m in Canada, so expect slightly higher shipping than in the US.

I have an extra J spinner, no back plate.  Don't know if it will fits yours.

Thanks,

So, we decided to have our cracked spinner repaired by AeroSupport. They strip the spinner before repair and it will return to us as bare aluminum. Spinner was originally white and we will return it to it’s former color. Does anybody know where I might go to get it painted and what paint is best for spinners We are located in the San Francisco area.
