I don't think I would call a snug fit just stuffing it in there. With the thickness of the teflon tape, the front bulkhead fits very snug inside the spinner. The teflon tape prevents any abradement of the aluminum, so the fit doesn't wear or change. It's not necessarily the right or wrong way to do it. It's just a different way of accomplishing the same thing.

Heath ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The front bulkhead is attached to the front of the prop with the crush plate. If you measured your prop thickness correctly, and they built the spinner and bulkhead correctly, you should get a "press fit" between the spinner and the front bulkhead when you install the spinner. You will however, still get movement between the two unless bolted or the tape deal that Jeff Scott used. With the tape , you will still get the motion between the two but apparently without the damage. As for the "threaded screw", I was trying to indicate something other than a sheet metal screw but I do appreciate your well wishes! :-) Larry Flesner
