has anybody installed an AR pawl to abus without it? just wondering if it can be done. thanks in advance. tight lines....
I'm confused about your question Mel, but I confuse easy. Are you referring to the Anti Reverse dog? If so, yes several of us have ABU reels with AR bearings and AR dogs.
Here's a link,

Persuant to Keta's post above: Try:
http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=2631.msg15737#msg15737 will get you the mechanical anti-reverse on the instant reel.
If you are going the other way, and wanting IAR on a mechanical, this will only work with later models of mechanical, where the two bellevilles are on top of the little black barrel-shaped bushing. Then, You will need the IAR bearing, and its sleeve.
I took the easy way out and replaced the brake plate (22813) with an earlier model (22803) and added a AR dog (5174). Cost about $29 new. I could have done it cheaper on ebay but I went to Southwestern Parts and bought the parts

thanks guys! i will leave it as it is for now because the tools and materials needed will cost me too much money. thanks again and tight lines.
If you mail me the plate and a post I'll install the post for return shipping.
