Title: 3-18 washers for 533 newell
Post by: speedwagon2 on August 19, 2014, 02:57:58 AM
Hi folks,
    I am looking for 3-18 washers to use under the handle of my 533 5.5.  The reel has Bryan's 4+1 drag stack.  I need to fine the space under the handle to gain some drag.  Are these washers available in different thicknesses?
  Thanks for any info,  Dave Babcock AKA Speedwagon2

Try replacing my top washers with a stock keyed washer.  That should help.

Sorry for the late response.  I already replaced your keyed washer with a stock keyed washer.  Still have a little space under the star.  I can get 29lbs buttoned down hard.  Want to get into the mid thirties so I have plenty of reserve if a bigger BFT finds my hook.  Keta is going to send me some in two thicknesses.
