PENN 6/0 WIDE FRAME

sharkman · September 09, 2016, 05:26:46 PM

I found a new old stock full aluminum 6/0 wide frame part number 183-114HLW. Will this frame work on newer models or just original USA penns.

The only notes I have about the frames are regarding the stand and the the stand screws:

I believe that it will work on the 5-Screw Chinese Penn sideplates, too . . . NOT 100% sure, though.

By "eyeball", it looks as though the screw spacing is the same. HOWEVER, I am NOT SURE about the Chinese sideplates & Harness Lugs seating correctly within the frame itself.

I hope someone else can contribute !

Unless you already have a donor reel. You can pick up old 114H's pretty cheap.
If you are up to it, you can tap the frame for the extra holes. Bob has done it.

Thanks everybody. Stand and base on there way. Now just have to find screws to mount base on frame. I will post pics once comes in.

Instead of tapping the screw holes just get new outer rings. Put in the five screws and leave out the other two. The new Chinese rings will cover the holes in your old plates. Make sure you grease the screws. Its not fun trying to get out stuck screws in these frames! The Chinese rings are stainless. Maybe not the best stainless but they are stainless steel. Bob

Got the part in. Looked up part number sent on Scott's and it listed it as a conversion kit for half frame reels. The only problem the kit I received didn't have base or base plate screws. Looks great though. Worst case scenario could drill rivets out of half frame base and bolt on to new frame.

I might have a base that will fit. I'll look and let you know if I do.

If that fails you could try JDL in Boca Raton, FL. He deals in used Penn parts or fishgrain. Both are members of this forum. Rudy

The later 114HLW frames used the 30-50T Reel Foot from the Penn International.

The 30-50T wont work on this frame its too narrow to bolt up

The half frames use that thick stand. The stand you need is much thinner.

Daron, my aluminum half frame has the thin foot. I bought it new without a box. There were half & full aluminum frames with thin & thick stands in different years of production. The stands are not interchangeable. The frames with the plastic strip on the front use the thin stand & the ones with the embossed ID use the thick stand. Rudy
