Title: Penn screw sizes
Post by: Crow on October 18, 2017, 10:04:39 PM
    Hi, !   It's probably been asked a thousand times......a search with "thread" in it brings up pretty much the whole site, though, LOL ! Anyway, the thread size for the "post" and "seat' screws (on the smaller reels), is 5-40, but what about the bridge screws ? I *think* it's 6-40, but my gauges don't go any "higher" that 32 TPI..........Thanks !

You are correct, 6-40 is the thread size and pitch for most of the bridges.

That's right Crow, 5-40 side plate & 6-40 bridge screws on the smaller penns up to the 349 I think. (I did notice the Mag 10s have smaller sized screws, the side plate look to be 4-40 & the bridge screws are 5-40)
