Title: Delrin washer for Squidder
Post by: MQ1 on March 07, 2021, 03:23:27 PM
Where is a good place to source delrin washers for under the gear in a squidder? I have a 3 squidders I'm going through for me and my kids, and placing the Penn HT-100 washer under the gear is just too much stack.

I have the delrin washers, comparing them to the ht-100s they seem the same or a bit thicker.  I would gladly put them in an envelope and mail out tomorrow , if you want them.. PM your address.

Interesting. I will literally lock the gears if I snug the screws to a normal amount. I did not think there was much difference in thickness between the old washers and the new...maybe a job for the micrometer 😂

cmdrzog,

Thanks for the offer...let me take a little closer look at where the extra thickness is coming from first, I don't want to waste your goodwill on my lack of detail.

Well, I think the problem was because I was using the wrong drag washers. I've ordered the right kits from Smoothdrag and am now just waiting for them to get here.

Bob, I'd still like to buy 3 of the delrin washers if you have them available. I'll send you a pm to follow up.

I believe Ken, his handle is "whittierte" has washers for Newells. They should work for you. He's a member here, too.

I appreciate the help. Special thanks to Bob, who has insisted on sending me the needed washers at no cost. So many of the people who frequent this board are truly amazing.

Bob,

I received your Delrin washer kits and the Smoothdrag kits today. 30 minutes later I had all the new parts greased and in place, and now I'm ready to service the other two with the help of my 11 year old son.

Thanks for all the help everyone! Line tomorrow...maybe test it fishing Sunday in the rain!
