Hello all, this is my first post here and am glad to join. I have an ABU Garcia 2500C, reelfoot 770100 that needs a left side plate due to some corrosion damage.
My original reel appears to have a slight bluish tint (anodized?) to both side plates. The color is slight and hard to describe.
I ordered a new left side plate, p/n 975120 from ereplacements and it is silver with no hint of blue tint, also the badge is smaller and the cog wheel post is silver instead of brass.
Can anyone assist me in finding the correct number for the proper left side plate? My reel is in really excellent condition otherwise and would like it fixed properly.
I am posting a few photos although it is hard to really capture the true tint of the original vs the plain silver of the new. Original on LEFT.
Thank You!

I believe it is part number 10290. At least it is for a reel with foot No 78 11 01

Sorry, but that part number lists the one I already bought as an alternate.
Just found a collector's site that calls them GUNMETAL BLUE.
Now if I can just find out where to get one?
