I am planning to install a Tiburon frame on my Newell P533. On the Tiburon website they have a N440/553 frame and a narrow topless 533 conversion frame and spool. Will the N440/533 fit on my P533?
Thanks Scott
put a call into tiburon at 866-250-7383. bob or richard should be able to tell you.
Scott:
Contact Gregg Chow at his ebay store. If you want the standard width 533 like yours, get the N533/440. If you want the narrow kit, get the N533/440NK. The "NK" stands for narrow kit.
See below links. PM me with any questions. Gregg is great to deal with...good communication and fast delivery.

The 533 and 440 are the same size and yes it will fit nicely. I have installed several of them.
Thanks guys. One last question, do you use the inner rings in the conversion or does the tib frame replace the inner rings? Tx
You have to use the Newell inner rings with the Tiburon frame kit. The kit I got come with phillips head screws. Easy to install. Just be sure to put grease on the frame where it meets the inner rings and also on the screws.

I use quite a bit of grease between the rings and frame so the grease is kind of like a gasket. Then on the inner frame, I take q-tips and wipe the grease away. I've seen many frames where corrosion begins between the rings and the frame.
