Question about Accuplates for Penn 505

[mbg60]

I have several Accurate Jigmaster conversions.  I purchased the Tiburon Yellowfin spool and frame upgrade. Unfortunately for me, the 505 extended spoool won't fit into the accuplates I have.  Did Accurate make plates specifically for 505's or is there a way I can modify the plates I have?

from what I've heard, they were made for Penn's 500/501.

I had the same issue. Unless you have the capabilities of turning down the shaft you will have to go with a 500/501 spool.

Is the difference in the beating size?

Mahalo for your responses Bob and Bryan.  Is anyone here willing to and do they have the know how to do this?  The purple spools on the red accurates are killing me.  LOL

The spool shaft on the 505/506 is much longer on the handle side than the 500.

I believe they do as the set I have now takes a 505 bridge only, the 500 bridge and gears does not fit I posted some pictures in the picture section
