Default Prop Washer Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to mount a spinner on a SuperTigre 45.

I've tried several spinners and with each one taking into account the spinner back plate there isn't enough of the prop shaft left to add the prop, prop washer and fully bolt on the retaining nut.

I can get the nut on about 50% - 60% of the way.

I'm not particularly happy with this arrangement.

As I've tried several spinners and they're all much of a muchness I'm considering either:

1. Dropping the prop washer altogether which will allow me to full torque the nut

2. Replacing the prop washer with a standard flat washer which is much thinner and will give me more prop shaft to work with

I really find this odd as I've had many of these engines before.

Thoughts?
