93nav,

It’s a forward spinner bulkhead for a Cessna 150. Approx 9 3/8” wide by 2 1/8” tall.

A difficult part to locate for the particular aircraft. Used to stabilize the spinner and as time goes on, they develop some play and allow a slight wobble in the spinner that in-turns, allows the rear aluminum bulkhead to flex and then to will crack.

When they can be located, the going price is hovering around $600.00.

Here is my original,


The correct solution would to have had the forward bulkhead made of aluminum and then secured to the spinner via screws and nut-plates.

Cheers
