Doing an upgrade an old Abu Black Max 3600 reel and ordered some carbontex drag washers (Jack Erskine supplies them in AUS) that had to be custom cut. Anyway when i attempted to replace the washers in the reel i realised that the carbontex are approx 2x the height of the standard washers. when i replaced the stack it was too high. The stack is 3 washers thick (ie material washer / metal washer / material / metal / material / metal). Would reducing the overal stack to just 1 or 2 carbontex to a similar height affect the drag?
Thoughts appreciated.
Cheers :D
the carbontex drag washers for the standard ambassaduer 4, 5 and 6,000 series reels are super thin. i bet those would work. mr. erskine should have those in stock.
You wouldn't happen to know the dimensions of these washers would you? I wonder if they'd be a similar fit.
this i can do! there is one small drag washer under the main gear and it measures 8.00mm ID x 20.45mm OD x 0.43mm TH. the three larger drag washers inside the main gear measure 8.00mm ID x 23.00mm OD x 0.43mm TH. these drag washers are the thinnest available. i am certain they will solve your problem. alan
Many, many, many thanks.
