Default RE: Spinner will not fit APC prop?

ORIGINAL: Fastsky

You can modify a spinner to allow a bigger prop to fit but only up to a point. If the spinner is way too small, no amount of mods will be able to make it work and still have the 2 halves of the spinner mate together properly. If you tell us what size of spinner you have we should be able to tell you if your in the right starting size at least. [8D]
I think this is the problem, my spinner is WAY to small to even "cut to fit". It is the stock spinner that came with the Pulse XT 60, I do not know the exact size. I would like to use a plastic spinner for two reasons, I like the look and I would think the smaller metal spinner nuts are much heavier? The plane is already nose heavy. What is the best solution?

I checked the online manual and the Pulse XT 60 comes with a 2 1/4" (57mm) spinner.
