When I am reading this forum I find that many questions are about width, dimensions and interchangeabillity of parts.

How about compiling  table of parts and what reels it will fit? Add a field for frame width and we will have a tool to look up what parts we can use without comparing chematics for 50 reels.

I have started on a table of dimensions of drag washers including the metal washers. 
Next will be a parts table describing all the reels that use the same parts. I know that there exists some scanned pages with this info, but there are no dimensions given in those pages.

A spreadsheet with lookup for part number and/or reel number will make it easy to find information.
There are a lot of parts on e-bay, but the information there doesn't relate to other reels than the reel the part came from. I reality, it will fit a lot of other reels.

I can start the project, but I will need information about dimensions from those of you that have the actual reel and can take some measurements.

So, can anyone help with info?

Seems like a good idea.  I've seen a few tables here, but I bet a dollar I couldn't find it again if it did exist.

Sorry I'm no help.  I'm currently not doing any reels but when winter sets in I will. Would be nice to print out something for reference.

Good luck.

I have the dimensions of the drag washers I cut but they are closer fitting than Penn ones.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

That's even better!
Using those numbers it is even easyer to know what is going to fit or not.

The parts table is very interesting. There are some surprises there.

I am using Openoffice calc to write the talbles. In that way it can be converted to excel og pdf as needed.

Just post dimensions of drags, spacers etc here and I will enter them into the tables and publish links to tables as they grow.

I don't own so many reels yet, so I can't measure so many parts.
Here is what I know at the moment.
