Yub, yub, cmdr!

The Spinner Bushings were included with my trusty old (er, rather, incomplete) Tiger II and spinner.

The spinner itself does not fit my engine. It included Spinner Bushings (little nylon affairs that shrunk the size of the hole in teh spinner).

Should I buy Ball Bearings?!? I'm confused.

Do I glue the Bushings into the spinner, or do I just put them on?!?

It came with five bushings, from big to small holes. Should I use the smallest hole that (if I use tons of force) will fit into my engine, or should I use teh bushing that fits the best (not 2 loose, not 2 tight)?

Thanx!!!

I would use the bushing thats "just right" and there should be no need to glue it in.

hi
it should be a tight fit and the bushin should stay on the prop shaft.

Yep. Just use the bushing that fits snug, but not too tight. All you're doing is "filling in" the gap between the spinner backplate and the prop shaft. It's not critical the way some things are. Bushing is also a bit confusing, but in this case it's nothing like a bearing. (The bushing does not allow anything to turn as a bearing would.)

Definitely going to the field tomorrow if you can get a ride. Probably 11:00 to 2:00, or there abouts.
