After hearing that Randy's Superjig kits weren't going to be offered this time with the newell spool option I was really bummed out since I was set on making something unique. But on this board we find solutions to make things work and remembered I had a set of the oem plastic inserts for making a jigmaster spool fit a 300 series. The plastic inserts seemed to have swollen a bit over time and was rubbing inside the pinion. I knew I had small diameter brass tubing and by some miracle the inside-diameter fit snugly over the spool shaft. Using the oem dimensions I cut and filed the brass pieces to size. The O.D. is actually thinner than the spool shaft so it makes no contact with the inside of the pinion. With some shimming to center the spool my No-Letter 344-5 is now a fully functioning 348-5, maybe the widest 300 series ever. Freespool is excellent, no pinion clearance issues, clicker engages perfectly and all other functions are good to go also. Super super stoked and couldn't be happier with how the kit turned out. Being that I'm from Hawaii, the engraved uluas were a special touch. Mahalos braddah Randy!

Aloha,
