Folks,

I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but I'm desperately seeking a stainless steel left hand Squidder gear sleeve. Does anyone have one that is available for sale?

I may already be three sheets in to the wind on my birthday, but I think you can modify any righty sleeve to work just by filing down the ramps. The star has the same thread I think-?

I have a few of these in use that if I recall correctly were a saved large batch that were cut as lefties instead of righties. No ramps, they act the same either way.

This pic is of a larger ambidextrous sleeve and a ready to go righty Squidder sleeve. I might be just hammered though.

Use a stainless dog too-

I think lefties have a reverse thread for the drag star. I can check some JigMasters and 4/0s tomorrow.

You are right, I was hammered. They do take a LH star.

::)

I got one from Alan years ago. Not sure if he still has any or not.

boy, you've got a good memory!  yeah, that was a one-off mistake by the machine shop that i was using at the time.  it's all doable, but just not at a reasonable cost. 
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

Very Nice Trick on the filing Jose ,gotta member that one.
NOT SURE BUT ?
Would the plain old 113 not H but the old smaller sleeve be the same IF so Mo (Mystic Parts)  has them and the Star  . I am building one now for the Heck of it
