Title: Penn 16 VXS
Post by: Nuvole on July 09, 2010, 12:34:09 AM
Finally found this place that I can post.

Alan,

Thanks very much for this very informative site.

I strip the reel and found 4 small/thin washer which is not in the schematics. They fit roughly the size of the small bearing on the pinion gear, and hence I've place them on both side of the bearing.

Any one can confirm where should these goes to?

 I'm  just gonna take a guess and say they're the shims(8A) on your pinion. The schematic shows 6 of them but I've seen stranger things.

There's no key no.8A on my schematics. Mind to share where are they place on yours?

Roger,

Thanks very much.
