Title: the 900h drag kits are all gone.

does anyone want me to have another couple of hundred made up?

Yes! Definitely! I don't know what your cash outlay would be but producing these kits is a real contribution to the fishing community(in my opinion). If at all possible please make another production run. I think that as long as there are old 900s around there will be a demand. If the first production run is gone it seems like another would sell also(of course I'm not laying out the cash to have them made).

Question;  I recently had an old 910 my neighbor gave me apart; is there a right sideplate shaft bearing or a bushing? This reel has what appears to be a bushing, or its missing a bearing. The 910 schematic does not show a bearing as far as I can tell.

Thanks,

Brian

ok, i'll get it done.  regarding the bearing vs/ bushing, i'd have to crack open a reel to see.  either one will work well.  there are definitely advantages to bushings.  alan
