Any spinner would work. It's the prop adapter that matters, and you want part #TT-0716-A.

You can also get the 7mm x 1.25mm spinner adapter from MPI for about $3.50. It is a double nut set w/o the bolt. If you order the spinner directly from them, they will replace the stock adapter with whatever you need just for asking.

Same is true for Tru-Turn. I've had very good dealings with them.

Depending on the prop you use will determine which spinner to get. Tru Turn list the Height Of the Propeller Slot and the Length Of the Propeller Slot. Measure the prop you have and then you can start to scan Tru Turns listings for what size you need.

save yourself a few bucks and call Dave Brown products. I used to only use Tru Turn spinners until on whim I called Dave Brown, they cut the spinner to the specs I gave them and the fit was perfect. Quality is the same as Tru Turn. I only use Dave Brown spinners now.

Although Dave Brown makes a nice spinner, the quality most assuredly is not the same. Tru-Turn spinners are machined out of billet aluminum and Dave Brown spinners are spun formed out of a piece of flat aluminum sheet.

Yep, quality is definitely not the same. The cone of a Tru-Turn spinner will snap positively into the groove in the spinner backplate. You get what you pay for.

I've never tried a Dave Brown spinner - stuck with Tru-Turn and haven't had any regrets.

Sorry guys, side by side you can tell the difference. The cone fits perfectly into the back plate.

Not if it's slightly warped because the cone material is too thin.

You can't go wrong with TruTurn, it's simply the best.
