Just saw these on Ebay. 19.95ea.
Is this something new?
I have not been keeping up with the site.
"Custom made replacement drag knob for the old classic USA made Penn 714Z, 4300SS and 430SS open face spinning reels.
The original drag caps (part number 52-714) from Penn were made of an acrylic plastic that without fail will crack and spilt apart. With no replacement part available, Max Parts has created a solution. Made with naval brass insert machined specifically to fit the original spool shaft and a body made of PETCF (Polyethylene Terephthalate - Carbon Fiber). Strong and resilient especially in saltwater conditions.
A direct replacement to an otherwise obsolete reel. Ships same or next day. "
Tom came up with them awhile back. :al

It's a brave new world.
Tom, Cortez Conversions has them for the 4200ss, 420ss, and 716z. Just bought one from him a couple weeks ago, and it's really nice. Looks like Max Parts in Port Saint Lucie, FL is making them for the 4300ss, 430ss, and 714z.

Tom's version looks much better than the one I saw on Ebay.
That is just fantastic!

Good to know Tommy, as I'm just going off what I see on FeeBay. Tom's work is top notch.
