Cracked spinner - need a replacement (?)

[goalstop]

Hi all! We just got out to our plane to find a gorgeous and substantial crack in our spinner. No, don’t worry - we’re not attempting to fly it. 

3 questions: 

1) Any chance of repair?

2) Does anyone have a serviceable one lying around?

3) Possible to get a new one?

Thanks!

I would not attempt to repair.  There are plenty for sale on line that are used.

Thanks! If anyone has a lead on a spinner, I’d appreciate it!

What's going on with the root of that prop blade?

my untrained eyes can't tell make and model of the Propeller you have installed. Hartzell ? HC2?????  and what model of Hub ??? or is it a McCauley  ???? or ????

Idk. think it’s been there awhile. Just took it for its 100hr and the prop shop didn’t say anything about it. Just some faded paint and tiny oil streaks

Those are paint scratches from carelessly removing the spinner.

Found a new one for $800 or so

You're lucky.  A new one for the 3 blade McCauley is between $1500-$1800.  Don't know for sure yet.

When I remove my spinner, the base collapses in by 1/2" or a little more. Each blade opening rubs the blade roots, since the prop is in flattest position at shutdown. And having a 3-blade, I can't tilt it to come off one at a time without rubbing.

I put duct tape on the prop before removing the spinner.

If you are still looking for a spinner I have a tagged and polished one that was removed from my plane for a top prop upgrade.

I have a polished one also.  PM me if you're interested.
