No, it doesn't fit, but 2 minutes with my dremel and it will. ;)
Bob Stenbro from Tiburon responded to my email and said he is sending a replacement. ;D

Finally got around to putting the Surfmaster together.
It turned out well, I had no problems with the star threads on the ss sleeve either.
Waiting on the new clamp from Tiburon.

Daron, what was wrong with your clamp? 

I just received the Tib frame for my Surfmaster 100, and the reel foot is huge.. way too big for the rod I wanted to use.
Before I bust out the grinder and ruin the anodize, I was going to check to see if Tiburon makes a smaller size reel foot i could change to.

I had the same problem with an Avet SX reel foot, but Avet supplied the smaller seat for like $9

The clamp won't slide over the studs. It is too narrow and about 1/8" too small to even fit over them. I will open it up either way.

I see 4 metal washers. How did you configure the drag? Really nice looking reel.

the last one should be a spring washer.  yeah, nice work!!!!

You got me Ron! ;D
I used original HT-100's, They are about .80. I need some .50 sheet to complete the 5 stack with Bryan's washers. Wallace has me a sheet on the way. I just made it a 4 stack with two Eared washers in the middle of the stack. It seems to work pretty good. I put the spring washer on top.

That is close to a factory stack except I don't think the eared washers are supposed to be next to each other?

Factory stack is only three, with just one eared. I just doubled up the eared, feels pretty stout!

Ah,
I see why you did that. In my mind I would have alternated them, but there is no right answer. Glad you are happy with it.
