Kolakar handle screw

[elnath]

Anybody know the size of the screw that holds a kolekar 2/0 to the handle arm?

It's not terribly amusing when you are pulling in a fish to have the handle of the reel all off!  Luckely I managed to get the fish in by turning the handle directly by hand.  So all was well, but I didn't find the screw after it fell on the deck.

uggghhhhh!!!!!  it's a 10-32.  i can send you a bunch.  just need your address.  it's a tough decision.  if you loctite these, they are not protected from salt water and the screws will corrode in and lock up.  if you grease them, you can always get them apart later to clean and then re-grease them, but there is always a possibility that that the screws can back out.  i cinch all of these down by hand, and i do each one personally.

did the handle still turn freely or was it sticking.  you will get backwards force against the screw if the handle sticks.  that's why i use grease.  alan
