Hi all
Does anyone,with the exception of Canada TD š , have a copy of a Hurricane ( specifically MkIIB ) repair or maintenance manual ? I am specifically looking for information on how to dis assemble the aircrafts’ spinner correctly. If anyone can help with such information (text or diagrams) it would be most appreciated, and I will re imburse any costs.
regards
Dave

Thanks Guys & Gals, I actually got a mail from Hendon telling me the same thing…only a few hours after I queried them !
I’ll probably go for the manual set as well.

I really should check things before I post. The Rotol manual will tell you all you need to know but if I had looked at my Hurri Mk.II manual (AP 1564B Vol 1) I would have noticed, in Section 5 Removal and Assembly Operations, the following.
8. Removal of spinner (Rotol type).- The spinner shell is secured by six lock pins to the back plate and may be removed by turning the six lock pins to the unlocked position and withdrawing the spinner forwards. The flexible ring may be removed from the back plate by unlocking and removing six nuts.
Iām not sure if that helps!

That should help Dave (need lots of WD40 and probably need to make the correct size flat screwdriver fitting (from memory about 3/4 inch). The Rotol manual would be mighty useful for stripping the prop hub (not getting the spinner off) though.

Not ignorant in the least, they were hydraulically operated.

Would the TFC or BBMF be able to give you any information?

Thanks Anne….now an ignorant question…. were they hydraulically or electrically operated on the Hurricane ?

Ah…It’s not the Hurricane manual your after…it’s a Rotol manual and you can pick one up here for 17.95 USD

Not only do you get a number of Rotol handbooks but Hamilton Standard, de Havilland and Curtiss ones as well.
