I am trying to reassemble a stripped Penn Accurate Squidder 140 Magnum. I have started with both side plates and the magnum spool. Assembling the side plate with the clicker I have found the clicker spring from a Squidder, and 500 to be .125" short from centered on the bearing. Is there a special Accurate clicker for this, or will a clicker from another Penn reel work? My only fix right now is to drill and tap another set of 2-56 holes .125" closer to center.
I have a 145 squidder magnum and the squidder spring is the correct one. I believe the 500 has the same spring.

Try using the clicker dog from a JigMaster.
The 500 and 113 all have the same clicker spring. I replaced the one in my magnum with one from Scott bait and tackle.

The spring from a 113 & 500 that are the same are .125" too short from centering on the bearing.

I have a 140 magnum. The stainless spring that comes with the accurate is slightly elongated, not round like it would be on the penn plates. Rather than drill the plates I would try to stretch a brass spring to fit. Slightly flatten the circle of the spring then read shape the clicker ends to engage the dog.
