I just got through putting an ultimate drag stack in my 229M. I noticed the left side bearing cup has a tension spring under the bearing, (#), it's a spring steel crescent washer.
Thing is my reel had 2 of them stacked in there. I see none on the schematic for the right side cup. Is this something they used to fine tune reels and the number can vary? I only put one back and it seems fine, actually gives me a bit more range of adjustment.
thanks,
Rob
You only need one of those spring washers in the bearing cup.
Thanks.
