Hey everyone,
I spoke with Rich at Tiburon about making a 112HN kit for the black 3/0.
In reality, the 112HN frame is 1/8 narrower than the Black 2/0 frame.
For simplicity and to allow us to have a kit that can fit 2 reels, we would be making a frame for the 2/0 which would also allow the black 3/0 to be shrunk down.
Rich wants to know how many people are interested in this kit.
I would like to get back to Rich at the end of next week.
Thanks,
Eugene
in for one. Maybe two.
Good to hear Rich is still at it!
I knew him back when he was developing the SST.
He hooked me up with a prototype SST to field test on a 10 day.
I will let Rich know that there is not enough interest in making this kit.

Hi Eugene, is this the same narrow frame that Randy Penny ran a few years ago? T3N.
No, that is the narrow red 3/0 kit.
The hole pattern is different and the shaft is different.
What I was looking for was a black 3/0 or black 2/0 kit.

The only one's I ever heard of were a special run made for Hi's Tackle shop in S.F. I don't know how frame manufacturing works but Tiburon has done 2/0's before.
I had one, I gave it to another member who was on a 2/0 mission
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
Just spoke to Rich at Tiburon (via email).
He will be making a run of 112HN kits and agreed to make some of these (NARROW) kits to fit the BLACK 2/0 and BLACK 3/0 sideplates with the corresponding frame holes and corresponding spool shafts.
Rich asked me to ask how many of these he needs to make.
If anyone wants 1 or more of these kits, please let me know.
Eugene
