ArrowBerry Posted May 25, 2023 Report Posted May 25, 2023 Hartzell HC-C2YR-1BF propeller, we found this on the post flight walk around. Clearly the spinner has been stop drilled already, and that middle piece broke off in flight today. I’ve looked at Hartzell’s website and application guide, where else is a good source for a new spinner? Do you also have to replace the back plate?

Always good to check with Cody Stallings for used parts @Cody Stallings. Cody is our resident prop guy.
ArrowBerry Posted May 25, 2023 Author Report Posted May 25, 2023 Ours is a 67E, would the spinner off of a 67F be the same if it has the same model of propeller?
MikeOH Posted May 25, 2023 Report Posted May 25, 2023 Sorry I can't help with a new spinner. I did notice, however, that most of the visible screws are missing the nylon washers; hard to tell for certain. Anyway, they are designed to be there and help reduce stress and vibration on the spinner. You might consider installing with them when you replace the spinner.

They did have nylon washers but in poor shape, we'll definitely be replacing those.
ArrowBerry Posted May 26, 2023 Author Report Posted May 26, 2023 Thanks everyone for the input. I've ordered a used one off eBay... now the wait!
