I'm advised by Van's, that the spinner plates are not available at this time. I'm as far as I can go without the engine and spinner plates mounted. I'm aware that I can purchase the elastomerics and engine mount bolts (already have the IO-390) but not much point of mounting the engine if I cannot install the engine cowls due to no spinner.
Has anyone found an alternative to a spinner for a reference for getting the cowls mounted. I would really like to get the cowl mounted so I can get started on painting the fuselage. I know if I paint the fuselage and then try to install the cowl I will scratch up the paint.
If I don't come up with an alternate plan I will move on to the landing gear fairings and wheel pants to keep busy.
Anyone heard any rumors on FWF kit delivery dates? Weeks, months maybe years???
