Default What spinner adapter ??? help !!!

Hi

I would like to know what spinner adapter are you guys using with the Truturn 2-3/4 FAI spinner mounted on a OS 140 RX or Mintor 170. This spinner is very short !![]

anyone know the length of the TT-0522-A truturn adapter


Best Regards

The 170 comes with a spinner adapter nut/washer, but not the bushing for the backplate.

The OS is 24 MM long, and the TT-0522-A is the correct # for it...it will work on the 170 as well.

And by the way, it will work....but you may need to grind some off the adapter nut for it to work if you are using a prop with a large hub. I have done it before using a Bolly prop, it worked just fine.

thanks for the info, I'm using an APC 17 x 13 prop, the problem is the Mintor Adapter is too long to use with this spinner.

Then just get the OS part# and grind down the small tapered end. It won't hurt anything, just make sure it's tight

I spoke with Tru-Turn about this exact question Monday. (for the OS140RX) They said to order a part #TT-0523 "special adapter" at $8.95. They said that it "should" work depending on the particular prop. I will post my results when it arrives

I received the adapter today....it is about 1/32 too long still. This is with an APC 16-14 and APC 17-12. Not a problem, just need to take off maybe 1/16 to be sure the nut does not interfere with the spinner cap. It took maybe 2 min with a dremel, and all is fine now. The part number is TT-0523-A at $8.95
