Penn 114H second AR dog

[misanthrope]

Very nice work.  I wonder if you can mount the spring under the dog...Hmm

That is another project with my other 114H. I need to get more springs and I will need to finish recessing the area around the pawl post to set a spring so I can see if I can get enough deflection in the spring, not quite sure where to put the bent leg yet since the springs will be flipped but it should be less work than doing it the way I did it.

My concern with the spring on top of the pawl is that its steel moving between a brass sandwich.

I wonder is drilling into the dog to put in a small spring would work, like the squidders?  Will, your inventiveness is going to drive me crazy and I need to sleep.

Thiner dogs can be made.

Will, your dog spring mod is very similar to the Baja Special.

Will, your dog spring mod is very similar to the Baja Special.

George, EVERY coil spring mod will be similar to a degree due to the nature of it being a coil spring and coil springs are designed to work in only 1 way, so in that aspect, EVERY reel that uses a coil spring is very similar:)

Those custom dog springs look great, I'm trying to put my Squidder sideplate back on but I just cannot get that small spring to stay put. Do any of you guys sell them? I wonder if the Penn factory in Philly would have a few I can buy? Do they do custom parts as well? Will I run into any problems not using the spring at all?

G'day Fishit,
They're available from MysticParts (0.70c), here: hhttps://www.mysticparts.com/PennParts/Parts/14C-140.aspx
Gotta have the spring in there...
It's a bit fiddly, but you'll get there eventually.
Have a look at Alan's 113H tutorial here: http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=208.0
Shots 17-20 in particular...



Good luck, Justin

Put a dab of grease on that squidder spring and you might find it easier to install and harder to lose Fishit.

Thanks for the tips guys, I think I was trying to put the spring in the wrong way after looking at that pic - but I have the dog with the small hole on it where the spring seats in, not sure I can get it in on that angle.

I just double dogged one of my 114h's. I put the spring under the dog. Works great. I'll try and take some pic's tomorrow and figure out how to post em. I made the spring from #11 ss fishing leader wire. Just waiting for some of Keta's dogs to swap the brass ones with.   Bob

Very nice Bob, post some shots when you get it done.

Sal i wanted to but I didn't take any today. I'll have to take it back apart again and take some but nothing went right today and I was just happy to get it together. I could have used you today. It would have been a snap for you.

[Alto Mare]

Don't give up Bob, it get easier as you move along.

[Cone]

I'm not giving up. Sal. Let me see if I can post some pics.


This is the dog and spring


This is a shot of the dog in place. I broke this piece of plastic when I cut the pocket.

This is the dogs in place with the bridge removed. The dog is cocked in the pic and the angle of the end of the dog matches when its straight.

Nice job, Bob.  The 113H and 114H tank projects are slowly evolving.
