SS screws for Penn reels

[fIsHsTiiCkS]

Hey guys I have been looking for some SS screws for the jigmaster and other Penn reels that have the bakelite side plate with out the outer ring. Here is what I found and it's working great!! They are 316 stainless steel 5-40 screws from McMaster.



The screws side by side. SS one on the left.









I think the screws look awesome. Just hope this helps someone

The reel looks good this way. Different in a good way

Thanks for sharing might be just what I am looking for. Did you have to do any alterations to the side plates    Doug

I agree! I'm really liking the way the screws look!

No alteration at all. These are a direct drop in replacement!

Looks great, no more slipped screwdrivers scratching side plates.... Now you need to swap out those bridge plate screws! I did it on one of my reels, nice finishing touch. I did have to do some shade tree machining on the two clutch screws though. Not that big of a deal...
Cool

Yeah I also went through the SS screw mod's.

112H....





114H



And many,many others. About $250 to $300 in screws to McMaster. Had to have the bling

Wow Bob! That's on another level than what I did! Very nice. I see you did the bridge screws on the 114h. Yeah, I want to do those to. But like cool said will take a little alteration.  I'll save that for another day 

[BMITCH]

Yeah,well it doesn't make them any stronger or better.....just cooler

[Tightlines667]

How did you modify that eccentric lever?  Is the procedure in another post already?

[BMITCH]

Doubled them up, one cut off. Clamped together. Than drilled and tapped. This reel worked flawlessly chunking here in the NE a couple months ago.

[BMITCH]

Or you could go this route....114HLW with the screw ground down. I really don't like this option though.



Too many sharp edges. I just got lazy.

Thanks for the tip on those screws fishstick. I definitely will be getting some of those for my Long Beaches and Jigmasters.

I have been using the SS screws for a while now. Sal gave the length dimensions.

Yes it does help, thanks Jason.
Take a pic of the plate sideways...if you don't mind, I want to see how much the head stick out. Thanks! Sal

I had a bunch from Jeff JVariance, I used to purchase 4 full kits at a time and requested some extra parts in case I needed them. I didn't like the way they stuck out on the stock plate, that's why I asked to see yours.

So that's were Alan got his screws from.  I used those screws on all of the Accuplate conversions.  Look good and no slipping of the screw driver to damage the sideplate.
