Purchased an "Excell RC folding 8x4.5" prop for use with my Eclipse model and found that the spinner cone itself was too large for the plane model, but the base plate was almost perfectly sized. So using the original part's rough measurements I made a narrower spinner that sits ON the base instead if surrounding it. It's nearly the perfect size now for the Eclipson model A and works with the original mounting screw. Should be a easy drop in replacement for a thinner spinner!

A few things I must note about this make:
When making this part narrower than the original, I had to make the slot for the blades an odd shape to clear the screws that hold the folding props in place. both screws face the same way, so the spinner only fits on the plane one way. you may need to do a little bit of additional trimming if it does not sit centered.

I didn't include the two vent holes in the original spinner, I was worried they would compromise the structural integrity of the 3d printed part too
