Hi Gerry

The dimension refers to the distance to the front of the cowlings from behind 
the
front face of the prop flange.  The spinner's rear  terminates 20mm behind
the front face of the prop flange, resulting in a 5mm gap.

1 Inch!! Are you sure. That seems an incredibly large gap, unsightly too!
