Title: Shimano Stella Bail Arm Assembly required.
Post by: Irish Jigger on May 28, 2020, 05:05:43 PM
I need a new or used Bail Arm Assembly RD 8140 for a Stella  4000FA (2003).
This part is discontinued and I have tried unsuccessfully to find one.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Tom, that's going to be a tough one.
I'm going to look around and see if I get lucky.

All my best,

Sal

Many thank,s to Alan and Sal.
I really appreciate your help but am more or less resigned to never finding the part.
I have decided to take another look at the damaged bail arm.
I feel that using the experience gained and ingenuity shown on this forum over many years I can get it fishing again.
I shall keep you posted.

Tom, you have added a lot to this forum and I will never forget.
I'm very happy seeing you back on.

Sorry  no luck on that part, I've seen a few but not for that reel.
If anyone could make that bad part work, it is you.

Later Tom,

Sal

Good to see you Tom, I've used a few of your ideas over the years.
I had a quick look on ebay Australia without luck.

Hi Tom,

I'm not into spinners generally, but do have a couple of bail arm assemblies that might be correct.

Are you able to give me some measurement, and I can see if it what I have.

PM me if you wish.

Best,

Terry,

Hi Tom,

Don't know how to send pictures on messages, so have added here.

The unit looks very similar to that I've seen on the web, but, the wire on the one I have is thicker at 2,5mm.

Not sure what you think.

Let me know.

Best.

Terry.
