New project...113H

[Big Tim]

Tim,

Mind sharing what's the flashlight with tripod you are using?

Cheers,

Arthur

Arthur: Those are American Recorder digital lights I use for projects and close up photos in my photo box.

What is the preferred right plate for a project like this. The one shown, or the one with the open drag that can be serviced without taking the reel apart?

I'm about to go down this road and have 6 113h's to choose from.

Great project by the way. Following this post daily. Love the pics, the frame looks great.

IMHO, I like the side plate with the accessible drag.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

That is the direction I am leaning. Plus I like the left side art work on the older reels.

Need a little help! Ok I mocked up the reel for my son & I have a spacing problem...Whether I use the original spool or the aluminum spool when put together and the left side bearing screwed all the way in I still have too much side to side play? Do I need to take off the inner rings ? is there a way to shim/space the bearings to take up the slop ?

The new Tiburon frames do not use the inter rings but from the photos you have the old frame.

How much slop are we talking Tim? The only full accurate frame I have dealt with is a 9/0 and I used the inside rings with adjustable bearing as you have and didn't have an issue.

You may need to shim the bearings.

[Ron Jones]

I agree with Bryan, it is not uncommon to have to stuff a washer behind the left hand bearing inside the cup to remove slop.

Most times it's the right side bearing that needs shims.
The spool need to be centered, his appears to be too far to the right already, but can't really tell from his pictures.

Red Neck bearing shim  thanks for all the help guys...The first attempt on the shim is obviously too much and I lost full gear engagement...But at least now I have a plan, thanks again for the input..Off to work

Tim, you must shop at Fisherman's Warehouse.  I notice the "Select" baggy.  lol

Very creative with the shim.  You will probably need 1/16 of that thicknss.

Just find some thin washers that fit in the bearing cup Tim.

I'm robbing some thin small washers from an ice machine I'm working on right now

Byran: Yes on Fisherman's Warehouse & yes on the 1/16" thickness on the shim (almost perfect).

A few small cosmetics and this reel for my son will be done

Did you try the spring spacers that go in the Newell Bearing Cups. I have 2 sizes just sent me the OD of the washers & I can send you a few.
