I called Zenith and they confirmed that the easiest way to fix it was to create a new piece of nylon on the end rib of one of the two flaps. I did this by stretching the width of one slot in the required direction until the flaps were both aligned, and then used that as a template to create the new nylon that also lines up with the original rivet holes. All it cost me was a new piece of nylon. I would be inclined to recommend this as the way to go. Like most people, I took great care to get my torque tube straight (I laid it on a bench to be sure the two arms were lined up) and then get my holes in the right place, etc. With the whole thing put together, the thought of twisting my body around all those cables to re-drill the tube filled me with dread.

It has a bulkhead behind the prop and one in front of the prop.? It was fairly easy to install and runs true.? I can't imagine how a spinner would work with only one bulkhead.

I don't know where they get them, but the AMD spinner uses a single bulkhead at the front of the prop as well. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC, PP-ASEL, AGI http://www.conmicro.com http://jmaynard.livejournal.com http://www.tronguy.net Fairmont, MN (KFRM) (Yes, that's me!)

What may be a problem is if you are going to use the WW nose bowl you are going to have a 1/2" area around the spinner that doesn't match up with the nosebowl. It will produce a slight but probably measurable amount of extra drag. -------- W.R.
