I learnt something...the 406 has 2 different rotors/bail arms. Rotor P/Ns are 81605 & 129(shown).I got one of Keith's 406s & ordered wrong bail arm for the rotor. His 306 has the other rotor in the photo. I am sure You guys know  this already ,but maybe someone else wont have to find out the hard way.406 rotor on left the bail spring screw location is larger has 3 notches,306 on the right is smaller round no notches? ??? This reel has snowballed to the point of no return, I already have a new body & rotor on the way that will work with the bail arm I have. The only original parts will be the Innards, my new $60 parts reel...my logic is they don't make them anymore. When I 1st saw this reel the body had "FRC" engraved on it which drives me nuts someone would do that. I was gonna just move the 406 gears to the 306 ,but naw ,I had to keep on going. It will be nice though when it's done.
