Chris, He must have one hell of a light airplane or has gotten very skinny! Jim

Sam, I considered this same dilemma when I replace my prop, but ended up with a 3.5" hub prop instead. I think the reason they do not offer a front bulkhead for the 4" hub is because there is no room

Sam, I saw a fellow make a bulkhead for a spinner. He cut a 2" piece of plywood in the radius he needed and the cut a female an eighth of a inck bigger. Then laid a piece of aluminum cut in a circle
