Default Spinner drilled for DA150 AND DA100???

Can I do this? I have a 5" TrueTurn spinner that I've been using with my DA 150 and I would now like to use it on my DA 100. The DA drill jig has all of the holes for both engines, so my back plate would look like that. It sounds do able. The bolts will be squeezing this section very snug after the prop is bolted on. I thought that I would get another perspective before I went ahead and possibly destroyed a nice spinner.

I drilled out both sets of holes on mine and have had no problems. It was not intentional I drilled the first hole in the wrong place so I went ahead and drilled both sets to keep it balanced . I have seen some drill out most of the back plate to make it lighter with no problems. I plan on using the same spinner on my DA 150 in the future.

Yea, lightening holes! That makes sense. I was just worried about weakening the back plate to much. Thx.

A new back plate is about $ 20.00 and a lightened plate is about $40.00. If you need to replace it.

some kit makers ship spinners with multiple sets drilled for easy installation.
as long as the pattern is spaced evenly - there is no problem.
