Hello Everyone,
So this will be my first post here. I have a question about the right side stand screws for a 500s I'm building. The schematic calls for 2- 32-15's, but they appear to be to long. They need to be very close to 1/8" long. I ground down some screws to fit, but I would rather have the right ones. Can anybody help me with the part number for the correct screw? Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me and I hope I can help someone else in the future. :)Bart
These are the short ones https://www.mysticparts.com/PennParts/Parts/31-19.aspx On the handle side the longer ones are for the none handle side.

Welcome Dynotec-Bart! Yeah. If they stick out like in your photo, they can make gettin a birds nest out that much more difficult, as they will catch onto the loops of line.
Here's some more info. on my problem. Joe, I tried those screws and there's an interference problem. The holes in the side plates(rings) on the 500s are not countersunk. The plate itself has a nice round hole that a pan head screw fits into. Thanks Bart
That's odd. I've got only one stock 500 and the frame holes are counter-sunk. That's what my memory's tellin me too.
Edit: Oops, didn't realize there's an "s" on the end of the 500 in your first post.
on the S everything s reversed. The left side takeapart configuration has enough clearance for the pan head screws of correct length. I can check this for you Sunday when i get home to my jiggy's. i love the S, though many didn't. the internals are better than later l models IMO- steel main, chromed bits...
Thorhammer, thank you. My problem is on the right side though. And to check the bottom screws you would have to take your reel apart, I wouldn't ask you to do that. The two reel seat screws are inside the right side plate. On a right handed reel of course ;)
Either you have the inside plates switch or we are talking about opposite sides. If you follow the schismatics it shows the side those two screws are supposed to go on.

Dynotec, somehow i ALWAYS have one or another jiggy in pieces; i just bought a 12 lb box of all kinds of parts and i have enough other jiggy bits around that i will be building a jiggy out Sunday and will take a look. i think i still have the correct screws in the correct Scotts parts bags to give you a part number. It's a short panhead tho.

The reel feet screws for the 500S are the same for
both sides. They are not flat head but listed as pan head. Part number 32-19.
There is a thread on this site entitled "Difference Between 500S And 500"
Here's the right side of a 500s. They're not counter sunk holes. Looks like the standard penn screw just really short threads
Picture is upside down.
The 500S schematic shows the same inner stand screw 32-15 on both sides http://www.mysticparts.com/Assets/images/pennparts/schematics/500s.pdf (http://www.mysticparts.com/Assets/images/pennparts/schematics/500s.pdf)
However the 500S I've got uses different screws on the handle side. Same short length, different heads ??? The recess in the right side plate that the screw head fits into is not large enough for the pan head screws that are used on the left side (see below)
The two RHS screws that are on my reel look very much like the handle nut lock screw 110-60.
Mike
PS - Looks like Sheridan's are the same as mine

Mike, you hit the nail right on the head. Those are the correct screws that I need!
I wonder if this screw might be right? Mystic 123-50.
The length looks about right, as long as it has 5-40 thread - I'm not familiar with the international reels. Have you got the handle nut lock screw from your 500S you could test fit for length in the frame?
Mike
Welcome to the forum Dynotec
I have a complete frame for a 500S with all the correct screws you'll need from both sides.....the heads are smaller on the "handle" side of the frame
....please pm your address and I'll send it your way

There you go. Problem solved. These are the correct screws for the 500 S https://www.mysticparts.com/32-15-Screw-Short-Pan-Head-P9494.aspx
And the right schismatics https://www.mysticparts.com/Assets/images/pennparts/schematics/500s.pdf

Joe, check out the first picture I posted. Those screws are 32-15's straight out of the bag from Mystic. Too long. I feel like if anything good can come from this thread (record) , it's the part number for these screws. I want to try to give back for the time you guys spend helping me and others. I'm planning on ordering some various short pan heads from Mystic to see if I can break the code and report back. Nothing but respect for you Guys.
Thanks for taking the time to inform me/us about those screws :-\ ??? I don't know why those 32-15s are to long. I think I would just shorten them and tell Scott about that situation.
