My spinner is as black as the day it was shipped. : ) It fit right
in with my paint scheme (or the other way around), so I left it as is.
Whenever I have the lower cowl off....oil change time of 25-30
hrs....I'll look at the springs, and if any are weak, I'll change
only that one, or those that are weak. My exhaust system is so well
secured (now) that the springs don't really do much. They never
break, and the fact that I have chosen to wrap the joints (between
exhaust pipe and muffler) with a heat-proof tape (Spruce #09-31500),
I think the heat that would cause them to weaken or break is reduced,
so they last a pretty long time. I don't think I've changed any of
them in 50-75 hours. I don't even safety wire them. Stainless would
probably be better, but in my case "if it ain't broke....."
