I have some washers that will fit that are .025 thick.  I think some guys have used these to try the conversion, but I'm not sure how that worked out.

I just got a 9/0 dumped on my bench. How did that work out? Thanks in advance, Brendan.

G'day Brendan,
I'm sure Grayson will update also but, in the interim, I did a 9+1 conversion to my 10/0 and it worked a treat:
Definitely worth it, in my view ;)
Good luck, Justin

Thanks Justin, I have upgraded Jigmasters, Squidders, and 4/0's, but never have dealt with one of these. I can not see ripping a reel this big apart without adding a stainless bridge sleeve, handle etc, etc. the double dog is also intriguing. after looking around on here, I'm not even sure if the bridge sleeve is available. Thank you, Brendan.

G'day Brendan,
Electramate have the S/S gear sleeves here (kinda pricey though):
If you do go ahead with the upgrade, be sure to snap a few pics of the process for us ;) ;D
Cheers, Justin

You're a good man Alan, we appreciate all that you do for us.
I like what you said to me earlier:
if you take money out of the equation, things get so much easier.....  I'm learning a lot from you ;).

Brendon. The gear sleeve for the 9/0 is the same one for the 6/0. Alan has these much cheaper than Electramate. Alan is a good man! Bob

I wasn't aware of that when I posted above, but Alan said to leave it up anyway...
He's a top bloke ;)
