Thank you in advance for the help. I have read that I can get a Tiburon Frame and Spool, same as 501. I can locate a SS pinion from Scotts. Bryan's 5+1 drags will work. So here are my remaining questions:
1. SS Gear sleeve the same as the 501?
2. SS double dog bridge same as the 501? Or do I have to retro fit to get a double dog on it?
3. Will I need a drag spacer to take some slop out?
4. SS gear availability?
Any other ideas, tips or help would be appreciated!

here's the 1/0 schematic

and here is the 501 schematic

the coarse thread 98-60 stainless steel gear sleeve will fit, the bridges cannot be switched. for spacers, i usually just fiddle with them until i get something i like. all pinion gears are hardened stainless steel. go with a 5-60 brass main gear. they're quieter and smoother.
do the drag upgrade, replace the gear sleeve only if the original is damaged, consider a handle upgrade before a frame upgrade.

Love these little guys! This one turned out nice. Need some new drags and a handle/knob combo and she is ready!
looking good!

Looks great and a great size too..!!
Bryan young sells the 5 disk drag upgrade. Really nice little reel.
Ron
Yes! I ordered them yesterday. Waiting for a couple of days to order a new handle and knob from Alan... Have to spread it out over a couple of days and weeks... ;D
That is one of the nice things about doing these reels, you can spread the cost out over time and end up with a world class reel when you might not be able to spend several hundred dollars all at once for a retail reel.

Going to tiburon frame 1/0. Can I use the stand and bars to covert jigmaster 500 to 501.
Yes
I have a 1/0 on the way. I have a tiburon frame but need an aluminum spool. Will a 506 spool work? Need to start saving for the ss stuff. Thanks
No, the 506 spool is for the ball bearing jigmaster reel unless you have 505 or 506 plates.
ok thanks
