Hello, been browsing through thought I'd register and ask a question. I'm looking to replace the gear sleeve on my 117L with a stainless one. I was wondering if anyone has had issues with the handle failing where the sleeve meets it after going to stainless. The reason I ask is that after rounding the end of my brass sleeve, I noticed a slight deformation on the handle hole where the two make contact, opposite "corners" where the torque would be.
Thanks a lot!

If you need a new handle arm, I have a couple of styles available on my website. The link is in my signature.
Thanks guys. Went ahead and ordered the sleeve.
If I wind up tearing my handle up, I know where to get one.
Are they stainless too?
Yes. All mine are 316 stainless, which specifically resists salt water corrosion better than other grades.
Livewire,
I don't know what you are fishing for with that Monster, but I wouldn't chance a sloppy handle. I put stainless arms on all my reels for a little peace of mind. ;)

Usually the "Monster" is a rig leg! ;D
