Hi Chris

Still got these for sale mate?

[Chris Zavatson]

Richard,
Yes these are still available. I try to keep one set ready to go for those unexpected AOG situations.
Last one was an unfortunate bird strike.

[Richard Browne]

OK super, can l hold off for a month or two? l'm not heading back to South Africa until after Christmas, l'll take one off you then.

I have the McCauley prop on my io360 - should be ok?

All the best Chris

I have two more spinners and four back plates in case anyone needs one.

[Daniel Switkin]

I saw these today in person, they are beautifully made!

To answer a few questions globally.....

Despite being a somewhat older post, these parts are still available. I try to always keep backplates on hand to quickly cover folks that discover cracks in their original aluminum version.

And for those that like the carbon look, the spinner does not need to be painted.

I bought one back plate and a carbon spinner from Chris last year for my 360. They are truly the highest quality products. Installed easy and they look amazing.

Installed in 30 minutes

No need to paint the spinner, whatever color your plane is it fits

Bump Up.
The spinners and back-plates are still available. I try to keep some ready to go for those 'found a crack in my aluminum back-plate AOG situations'

My AL backplate has cracked over the years, I've stop-drilled which bought be more time but finally put one of Chris's Carbon backplates on last year and it is solved for good. Fantastic workmanship on the part... wish this had been the backplate available years ago when I built.

Thanks Chris!
