spinner installation
 
Can someone please provide some detailed instruction as to how an aluminum spinner and prop adapter are installed? Lots of pieces (some are left over I'm sure) but zero instructions with spinner and prop adapter. Engine is Magnum .91 two stroke spinner and prop adapter are Tru Turn.

1. Centering the backplate? Bushing included with spinner is to small for engine shaft. Purchase a larger one? Are there any tricks or bushing substitution ideas?
2. Thrust washer that came with engine. Is it used or is the steel washer that came with prop adapter substituted?
3. Prop nut and jam nut that came with engine. Where do the adapter nuts fit in?

Thanks

Here's where you can buy the bushings only to center the back plate

Here is where you can buy the proper bushing and nut to go with your engine

Engine thrust washer that came with your engine, spinner back plate, prop, prop washer that came with your engine, Tru-Turn nut.

Spinner is held to the nut with a screw

It depends on your plane.

I would think a 2" would be minimum with that engine

A 2 1/2" would look good

Try to get the spinner with the metal back plate
