Prop Instl

First thing was to open up the prop bushings

 

Bolts temp  fitting

 

Looking like an airplane

 

Drilled the holes in the back and the front plate.  Luckily there were holes that lined up fine.

 

View from the back

 

Positioning the prop so that it will end up horizontal.  The book says to position the magnet at the top as seen here.

 

Then position the prop so it is at 11:00

 

I cut a template to get a rough cut out.

 

Then taped the spinner and transferred the pattern

 

Then a rough cut.  I also put a grid on it so that I could make sure I was symetric.

 

Lots of trimming and fitting.  I ended up opening up the cutout to be able to get it in place.  I still had some trimming to go with this pic.

 

Once finished, I clamped it up and located the nutplates.

 

Nutplates installed.

 

Looks good

 

Good view of the cutout.

 

And the other side.  They turned out symetric.

 

Getting close to finished.

I also put oil in it and cranked it over.  I checked out my data collection with a laptop and got good oil pressure.  Didn't get RPM because need to have spark.
