I've been in touch with Simon about parts for this reel and am considering purchasing his clutch kit.  Do you have any thoughts on this kit?

It's well worth it.  The original pinion bushing on the 2500C has a tight fit which causes the reel not to engage fully at times.  The pinion bushing Simon came up with is UFO shaped, so it has room to move ensuring the reel turns over every time.  The springs he used in the kit are modeled after the '75 2500C, which are known to be the best springs from a feel standpoint.
