Thanks Fred,
However the bearing dimensions you gave are for the abu/zebco cardinal 3,
I need dimensions for abu(garcia) cardinal 3 (japanese version) which
is slightly smaller.

Thanks!

Sorry, didn't understand that —-

Tommy or another member should know.

I would have to take one apart to verify measurements.

Don't have the time currently until the bench is cleared of reels.

Best, Fred

I've never had reason to measure one yet and all my A/G C3s have been serviced fairly recently so I won't be opening one up any time soon.

I never though I really needed one, but one of the best $20 I've spent was on a General digital caliper. It sure comes in handy and I use it way more than I ever thought I would.
