The left side jack post on this bridge plate (from a P322-F) has very slight vertical and lateral play. Is it okay to use it as is or should I find a replacement bridge plate?

Wow never heard of that problem before. If the reel works okay no worry but I would look for another bridge just in case it fails..

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Just a few good taps should do it until it's snug?
