Title: WANTED penn 50t part

I am looking for a left end plate for a Penn Intl 50t.
Alan, do they make an aftermarket frame for this reel ?

i have a left side plate that is just a shade under 4 inches in diamater.  i believe that it is for a 30 international.  yours should be almost 4.5 inches in diameter, so the one that i have will not work.  dude, mysticparts.com wants $88 for one.  what happened to yours?  also, the "T" means a tube frame.  do you have a 50T with a tube frame and you want another?  or do you have an old 50 with a bar frame and you want an aftermarket frame?  check with cal sheets, but i believe that a frame for the plain bar frame 50 was never made.  if you have a old international 50 with a tube frame and side plates that are jacked up, it actually might be cheaper to polish it and have it re-anodized!  alan
