Just did this modification on mine, one question.
I know it should sound like a ratchet, but should it feel like a really rusty old ratchet now, click/bump, click/bump, click/bump, click/bump, click/bump, click/bump, when turning the handle?
I'm thinking it probably should, just wanna make sure I didn't SNAFU something during reassembly.

Yes, I love that sound. You did a great job on that plate, not bad for the first try.
Looks like you're building yourself a Super Tank, very nice.
If you would like the dogs to engage at the same time, get yourself a 9/0 ss dog from Lee ( Keta ) and replace one of the dog that you have, it would also be ok as is.
You've just joined this site, I'm glad you jumped right in. Don't forget to take pictures as you move along.
A shot of the finished product would also be nice.
Good luck with that reel.

Chile,
You notice how the dogs sort of come to a point. In your picture, the left dog is upside down.

Daron,

I think the dog is in the right position, but I am on my third glass of wine.

You are right John,
I forgot about the rotation of the sleeve. I am on my 4th Coors.
Disregard Chile, just trying to help.

[ChileRelleno]

OK...  I just couldn't believe that it should 'feel' like it did, so I tore it down and re-did it, now it is smooth with just a nice rapid clicking.
I can see my sharking buddies telling me to turn off my clicker.
I also further modded the plate to reroute the dog spring, I cut a thin channel to the 1 o'clock position above the dog, the spring sits in it mirror image of the original.
Put it back together without taking pics and am too tired to bother with it tonight again

And, yes, the dog is in the correct position.

So this reel now has the following stainless parts/mods:
Gear Sleeve
Double Dogs
Pinion Yoke

And I'm eagerly awaiting the stainless gears from Black Pearl/ProChallenger.

I have three reels tore down awaiting those gears also. I hope sooooooon!

Don't get in a hurry.
I asked Alan when he thought he'd have the run produced, he estimated mid Oct.
In another email he said all models would be produced at the same time.

Hi John,

The 114H hex gear set is a go. It will be produced 50 sets.

The ETA will be middle of Oct.

Thanks,
Alan

Much stronger spring tension than any configuration I experimented with utilizing the existing space.
The springs I had available weren't quite long enough to use as Sal did, that is a good config.
It now operates in the same configuration as the original dog spring.

I used a Dremel with diamond cylinder point 1/16" bit, to create the slot.

Opened it up and took a few pics.

I also wanted to be sure the spring couldn't get loose from there, so I put a brass plate over it.

This is a good writeup. I'm most concerned about modifying my sideplate for my current 112HN project. You know the one: I keep posting about it, but not actually doing anything...

[Bryan Young]

That's quite clever.  Thanks for sharing optional spring location method.

Good Job Chile!
