Perfect fit, went together in about 30 mins. fitting was minimal.
1 minute and 38 secs of freespool right out of the box.
There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

Swimmer, I'm probably havin pinion i.d.-smoothness/fit issues with my old 506HS plates/guts and the new p21XN tib. spool, but what plates/guts are you usin? I know there was some pinion rub on the old fully assembled 506... Only gettin bout 8sec. or so. Not good with ball bearings. Ok, so I godda another low level issue to figure out,  makin it more fun and interesting!
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

You have plenty of bridges in my shops.  Lets just drop in one that doesn't need tacking.

Wayne , dude!
That's purple with a dark green spool....
My first 914 was purple with a dark green interior. Kind of a sentimental combo . My dad hated that car.
He would put the car cover on it if I parked in the front.

The rutabaga crop is small this year but great quality. I eat them just like a baked potato. No carbs and no guilt😁
