113H gets a face lift

[David Hall]

Ahh building things in the kitchen,  brings back fond memories.

Nice rescue.

I bought something on the eberg and the guy had a  4/0 Newell aluminum stand for bid so I put $6 on it and shipping was free. I don't really need it but got it for a spare,if you want it to complete your Newell set on the 4/0 let me know. I should have it next week. Sheridan

Didn't see this until now. Thanks for the offer but I'm just going to use the original stand.

I didn't feel the need to start another thread, but I'm on another 113H project. Bought a tiburon frame and spool from an AT member. Then I found a donor reel on the old fleabay for under $50. Turned out to be in good shape and everything looks clean inside. Gears are nice and clean and all the drag washers are clean and not fused together. Not quite sure exactly where this one will end up. I'm thinking of doing the second dog with the Dremel and of course adding the frame. Not sure what else I will do.

P.s. I found the Belleville washer on top of the drag stack inside the reel

Looks like you caught the bug . The belleville being on top of the drag stack  is normal on those.
Enjoy your builds.

Everything got a soak in simple green and came out looking great. The internals were really in good shape in this reel.  The harness lugs are pretty loose, is this normal? Also the eccentric lever isn't clearing the side plate screw. Anybody have any levers with more clearance? Or should I see if a different screw sits more flush? Anyways, this reel is turning out really nice and I think it deserves some upgrades under the hood soon.

That reel looks new, great job! The eccentric lever looks good to me, see if the screw has some rough spots on the slot, maybe try another screw there. Also, make sure the eccentric screw is tight.
If it still does the same, you could gently bend the lever a little, it doesn't take much.
As for the harness lugs, it's normal. If it bothers you a little shot of silicone would help, or a shim. I would let it go.

Unless you are going to use this harnessed-up, the loose harness lugs won't matter. Being the perfectionist that I am, I would make some shims and firm them up, but it'sn not necessary unless they'll be used.

Guys,

I have a 113HLW on a TIBURON frame with ACCURATE sideplates and have the problem of one of the Harness Lugs "wiggling around" . . . What do you guys recommend about making shims . . . Materials, etc ?

Hey Dave, can you get a Teflon washer from HD or lowes and snad edge to fit within?

That sounds like an interesting option . . . I don't know if it would loosen up, over time, with the Teflon being compressed.

Thanks & Tight Lines !

I'd cut a shim out of a soda or beer can. Easy to cut with a pair of scissors after drilling a hole for the screw.               Rudy

Rudy,

A simple, elegant solution . . . I'll give it a try !

I'd rather make an empty beer can than drive to HD...
