Phil,



I am looking for some of that first hand information about mounting the nosebowl.  How far

behind the front face of the prop hub should it be?  I just received a WW nosebowl that

will go around a WW type prop hub.  



Thank you for any help,

Roger Pritchard

Roger:



Here's some firsthand information.  Two hours ago I

installed my WW nosebowl for the Umpteenth time

getting a fit-up measurement for an exhaust manifold

I'm making.  If you plan to use the Van's spinner WW

recommends, go ahead and order the kit from Vans. 

Since it comes with a large, round rear bulkhead to

mount the spinner, you can slide this over the prop

hub center (it's a tight fit) and this will show you

exactly how far you need to put the nose bowl past the

front of the hub.  



If you cut the hole exactly the size of the prop hub,

it will fit tightly to allow alignment.  It's a

standard hole saw size you can get at Lowes (I forget

what size).  Measure your prop hub.  Gus told me he

uses a piece of plywood with a 7/8" spacer to align

everything.  This is about right from what I've seen

of the spinner rear bulkhead.  This will also keep

everything nice and square with the engine centerline

I hope this was helpful.

The way we did it in William's shop is to cut a circular piece of plywood 

that matches the circular "face"of the nose bowl.  Then drill holes it in 

that match the prop hub.  This will simulate where the spinner will be 

mounted.  Then, screw the nose bowl to the plywood with some temporary 

screws and mount the whole contraption to the prop hub.  When this is done, 

it will be held in perfect position, so you can mount the nose bowl with the 

permanent hardware.  If you call William (or Gus who works in his hangar), 

they can give you more exact dimensions.



Does that help?
