Hi guys - question here about my aluminum spinner backplate. It is presently drilled for a DA170 but I want to know if I can use it safely on a DA150. So it has 6 mm holes in the 170 pattern but would obviously be using 5 mm bolted on the 150. Thoughts or advice ?

I tried to buy another backplate, but unlike Tru Turn this manufacturer won't sell a backplate separate from the spinner. Original plan was to get another matching backplate and drill it to the 150 pattern and size.

Could buy a whole new spinner but at $170 bucks it gets expensive.
Hi Bill, I have used the back plates like that before, but I bushed the holes with brass tubing. Perhaps just bushing a couple would be enough because it's compression that holds in position anyway.


I'm sure there's others here that have done the same.
