This is an older spinning reel a buddy gave to me, I'm guessing circa mid 90s reel. The bail spring is bad and looking for a replacement, or perhaps a superseding part? I'm not sure where a good place is to source Diawa parts, I mainly fix shimano and some abu reels. Thanks for any help.
Hi LoR —
Glad to help, if possible —
Daiwa made thousands of reel models. Few shared the same springs, although I have some shop interchangeability manuals.
If no help from someone on our site who knows exactly the spring you need, and has it — then I would likely be able to provide one for you at N/C. Have thousands of loose ones, unlabeled.
Would need a pic with exact measurements of the diameter, length of the legs, overall measure, orientation of the feet, etc..
Best,
Fred
this spring should fit

Hmmmm, I appreciate the part number but it doesn't look right. I'll post a few pictures. The issue with the reel is that on a hard cast the bail flips shut.
Here's the correct schematic. Parts #s 21 & 39.
