I've never seen one loose, but I have no reels larger than a 12/0 Senator.

I noticed my '60's Jiggy 500 had one a those shields and my 80's 505 HS didn't. Maybe the comming loose thing was a problem, but a "splash" shield seems like a good idea.

I might be calling them the wrong name, but shields make the most sense to me. The plastic bag I have with a couple of these shields says plate rings.
Penn already uses I-Ring and O-Ring, for inner ring and outer ring, so it might be right $:-\$
No matter what its called, we do know that they are removable, I have 3 large plate with them in and 4 without. The ones that are set in come out with very little effort and all are new.

That would make sense.

Sal I have heard them being referred to as "collars" ... anyway kept the 12/0 original and thanks to yours and Darons excellent step by step posts I was able to bring it back to life after spending over 25 years in someone's shed ...

Nothing special but my 1st 12/0 attempt so it went ok

Collar makes sense, but since it is removable it should also have a part #.

I have a large folder, it has listing for over 500 penn parts, but all I see mentioned is drag cover, no pics or numbers.

Maybe Tony from PENN could chime in, it is always good to get the correct part #...unless it just doesn't exist.

Alan the arm on that red handle appears to have a different shape, but it might be the angle of the pic.
Is it like the rest?

Thanks,

Sal

Hi Sal the handle seems made from grandpa's shed a while back using some aluminium. Based on the damage to the knob there was clearly an issue back then that caused this homemade handle to be constructed $:-\$

Well, taking availabilities into the matter, I think it's a very good job.
Thanks for the closer pic, Alan!

That's aluminum? Doesn't look the right color for aluminum to me. Could be the lighting.

I solved the problem. Thanks

Uh, Joe, you're welcome, but, what problem might that have been?

Oh sorry I was talking about the insert that the crank side has in the plate. I'm going to make my own to get a interrupted fit.

Cool, please show us how you do this.

I'm going to do it on my Lathe either with tubing or round stock. What I measured was 22.225mm for the hole, I want a tight fit. So I'm working on weather to do a slight ring at the top side or a crimp on the inside. I have a plate to work on so it's in the works.
