Title: Great Planes spinner question
Post by: James Mills on January 11, 2011, 10:23:23 PM: I have a Great Planes nylon spinner with the aluminum backplate and need to replace the bolts (read that as they have been misplaced) and haven't been able to find the correct bolt at the LHS, Ace Hardware, and so on, I even tried Great Planes web site. Can anyone help with the correct size?

Thanks,

James

I replied "next door" but yeah, like Dick says, you might give them a ring and see if they can just send you a few.
