Big thanks and a Penn 209 question

Alan,

Fantastic site!! 

Thanks for the posts / site / directions.  I just have started working on reels myself.  I couldn't have done it with out your site.  (Well, I could get them broken down into a pile of parts!   Rotating the bridge and using it to hold the works while slipping on the dog and spring are key!

On my most recent 209 the clicker is really worn and I wanted to replace it.  The schematic shows and e-clip but on mine the clicker tongue seem to be staked in place.  No circlip of any type.  Have you seen this before???  It looks as if I could dremel it off and replace with a circlip style part- seems extreme.....

Thanks again,

check in with the guys at mysticparts.com.  what you may have to do is drill out the rivet holding the original click tongue, then install a new one.  hopefully there actually IS a new on that will fit.  alan
