Default spinner for tee dee .049

I have just gotten back into r/c after about a 25 year absence.
I pulled an old motor glider out of the basement and put in
a radio. It already had a tee dee .049 in it. It flew great! But, the engine is hard to start. Not because of age or wear, but the usual
problems that you have when you hand crank a cox engine. And, oh, when it kicks your finger, man does it sting! I have an electric starter for the bigger engines which requires a spinner. I was just wondering if someone makes a plastic spinner that can be
put on the tee dee .049, so that I can use an electric starter?

By the way, I noticed a fitting molded into the crankcase of the engine, is this for tank pressure? do I drill a hole? Is this worthwhile?
