Newell 533 5.5 S series right side plate

[bschulzjr]

Last season I somehow cracked the right side plate on my Newell 533.  Ever since this happened, the reel would bind under heavy loads when cranking.  I am looking for a replacement side plate so that I can use the new 533N kit from Tiburon.  I would preferably like to find the a Purple 533 sideplate set (left and right) since my wrap colors are Purple, but will be more than happy to find a right side 533 S series plate.  I would also be willing to purchase a Purple 533 complete if the condition is decent.  Any help you guys can spare would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I've scoured Ebay, Craigslist, and most local and non-local tackle shops in So. Cal.  It's like finding a needle in a haystack.  I was able to find a no letter 533 5.5 side plate from Just fishing in Hermosa Beach, but it is slightly different in design and the gears will not fit.

I tried contacting this guy back a couple years ago when i owned a newell but he was busy maybe if you try he could make you a set...
