Well after posting a message on VAF and getting a few responses.  No one seemed to have what I needed spinner wise.

 

I then made another attempt and was messaged by the Doug Man himself (Doug Reeves) saying he thought he had an extra spinner at

home and that we would check once he returned from out of town.  Behold, he had what I needed.  As it turned out this was a part that

was initially purchased for use on his own plane.  So now my plane will have a part of "FLASH" out front. 

 

I made patterns to copy the blade holes and transferred them to the new spinner.  Since the spinner is somewhat transparent I was

able to match drill the spinner to the existing holes in the bulkhead and back plate.  Man talk about easy.  Now that the rear bulkhead

and spinner will run true I can trim the aft edge of the spinner to match the back plate.
