I have a dome sided 5000 that I want to put a CT frame on. I'm pretty sure the part number for the 5500 ct frame is 811632. I would also like a part number for a left side domed plate for the same reel that is anodized red. I think part number 21815 may work, that's off a 6000 sideplate, but it does not matter, of course.
Hey Curt, did you ever resolve this? I have both and can do a swap to see it works..I think the hole patterns etc. will line up ok but you might have to jimmy around some clicker innards if you use the 6000 plate.

I did not try it, I didn't want to waste the cash if it didn't work. Instead, I just converted my 5000 into a CT frame by cutting off the top bar and using the cut off pieces for studs. It turned out pretty good. But I would still like to know, I may spring for one of those frames if I can find one! Thanks!
I'll check it next week when back there.
the 6000 plate will have clicker innards in it. I'll check today to see if it works. Are you able to get Omoto ported handles?
Do you mean power handles? Yes, I have some.
Yep, like on the Chief. I really like it.
They are good reels for sure. Let me know what you need, I have 2 or 3 extras.
I'd like a couple- send me a price. Is that an item you can obtain?

Curt, similar vintage dome plate swapped right in, and the clicker plate even worked on the 5000 chassis- same nylon drive gear as the 6000.
That is very good to know and I will file this info away. Thanks for doing that Thorhammer!
Curt, need your email for PP for the handles.
