Yeah no problem Sal. Here you go.

As you can see they really don't stick out at all.

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.

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.

The no slip is nice. For the accuplates you will need at least a 1/2, if not a 5/8 screw.

Thanks Im glad I could offer something. We will see about the bridge screws

Jason, I've noticed that you've also replaced the handle set screw. Dealing with the slotted screws there is crazy.
Did you use these or did you cut them down? http://www.mcmaster.com/#92196A124 .
they are 3/16", I thought 1/4" would be too long. maybe we need 1/8" $:-\$
I do not enjoy shortening ss screws.

Thanks again.
Sal

Adam gave me some for the Shark handles. I used one on the Purple WEX.

I cut them down. I screwed the screw into a old beat up handle then cut and Dremel the excess that's protruding out. The 3/16 would better but still might have to trim them though. Adam had some for sure. Bought had from him that came with one.

Alto Mare · December 17, 2014, 07:59:45 PM

That's right, I forgot all about Adam. I'm sure he will let us know the size and where he got them from.

Ok guys, So I looked into getting screws for the accurate conversions as Bryan stated earlier. Here is what I found

I used the same socket head 5-40 thread 316 SS screws as before just different sizes. From what I can tell the accurate screws come in 3 different sizes. From left to right its 1/2", 5/8" and a 3/4" screw. The SS screws are right next them. As you can see for the 3/4" all I had was a 1in screw so later I just cut it to size, but Mcmaster has them in 3/4" size with the full thread.

I used mainly the 5/8" size for the most the screw replacement. Looks pretty nice and its a no slip screw.

The 1/2" screw is really only used if you are using the accurate frame as well. As the accurate frames have holes in the bottom where you can see the screw protruding if its to long.

Here is the Tiburon.

Lastly the 3/4" screw is used for the handle side plate. A longer screw is required because that part is raised to fit the bridge and gears.

Has all the SS screws you need from sideplate to bridge. Also, some cool accessories.

I exchanged a couple of emails with parts department at Mc Master Carr, about getting us some of the same ss screws for the 6/0's, they will check into it...we'll see.
The handle screws are too long, I thought Adam was going to help with where he got his from $:-\$ .
I will also request the Acetal spring washers for the 4/0's and 6/0's, I'm liking it very much, besides making everything smoother, the star turns with little effort.

Nice! Have been talking to them about bridge screws. Trying to get the best ones for the yoke screws. I really like the Acetal washer idea, I will have to look into getting some.
