No substitute for three ears, and one more place to hit.......  10 points off for loosing originalitity  they do look good though

2 eared spinner arrived yesterday 👍 and installed them today
But when installing noticed a bit of play on front richt wheel bearing
So question ?
Can you adjust this or need for changing?
Play in bearing is in and out not up or down or sideways difficult to ew plail

You could check the tightness of the castellated nut (remove split pin first) but don't over tighten.

Long nosed pillars to remove the split pin - rotate the hub until a small hole in the hub aligns. You may need to remove some grease to fin the hole. Socket over the nut and see if you can tighten it - DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN as you will make it harder for the bearings, they then may seize and fail.
Then refit the split pin (ideally with a new one). This is the hardest (most fiddly) part.
