I've had several members tell me that for the prop back plate to last longer (on my 1946 415C), I need to install a front plate and then I think I would need a new spinner, since the holes in the old spinner will not work with the new front plate.
I think the only purpose of the back plate is to attach the spinner. So, rather than spending $500-$600 for the front plate, back plate, and spinner, I am considering running with no plates and no spinner. Other than reducing speed slightly and not looking as good, is anyone aware of other negatives of running with no prop plates and no spinner? Thanks, Dennis
