[NSRCA-discussion] Lighter Spinner Adapter

[Jim Woodward]

Thanks Earl,

Came to the same conclusion myself regarding cooling and the Plett.  In my
eyes, less of a travesty to go with out a spinner, versus to ditch the wheel
pants if looking to save 2 oz. total.  Did you get the AL spinner bolt from
Microfasteners?

Thanks,
Jim W.

A couple of things I've done with the ES spinner - set the backplate up in a

rotary table on a drill press and drilled evenly spaced lightening holes, 
size / number will depend on spinner size - swapped the TT steel washer for 
aluminum - removed excess material from the lock nut (steel) on a lathe - 
used an aluminum cone capscrew. All of this will remove about 3/4 oz.

Your aluminum hub idea is not only good for weight saving - but the Pletty 
will probably like it on a hot day.

Earl
