Hi Dawn. I am learning about CarbonTex and am going to be replacing the drag washers in my Ambassadeur reels. I bought a washer kit off of eBay before I found your website. The drag washers I bought were titled "Smooth Drag Abut Garcia 4000, 5000, 6000, Ambassadeur C3 C4 Carbontex Washers". Are these yours and are you selling on eBay?
I have about 35 reels to do. Most are 5501 C3 and 5601 C4, but I do have some of the old 5001c's (black) and 6001c's one black and one silver. My 5001c's are early 80's. I still have the boxes and schematics so I can get the exact part numbers. However, I can't find the schematic for the black 6001c.
Because I have so many reels, I am thinking about buying the Carbontex sheets and making the drag washers myself to help save on cost. It looks like the 5501 C3's and 5601 C4's are .5 mm thick - is this correct?
I am going to buy the drag washer kits for the 6001c since I only have 2 of these. It looks like they are 1mm thick - does that sound right? Also, are the early 80's 5001c's the same as the 6001c's? I haven't taken them apart to clean yet.
Thanks in advance - Craig
I'm so late to the party, sorry. Did you email me and did we take care of it?
