Hi, I had a hard time locating The felt seal washer part # 17-750 That goes into the handle. So I came up with this. Identical to the stock one on my other reel. It looks like the same material. It is a felt pad from the hardware store Same OD as the stock. I stuck it on a washer with the same
Inner diameter, cut it out with an exacto knife. or punch the center out with a gasket punch. Carefully "fillet" the adhesive glustrip off.

If I do have theses, they are usually soaked with corrosionX. And thanks for the tip.
They sell the felt in sheets too,(cheaper) I didn't have a 3/4 gasket punch for the o.d.
a 7/16 punch& mallet worked way better than the exacto knife for the i.d. Someday may invest in a set to cut my own drag washers
from cf sheets . I should have added the adhesive backing was half falling off when i punched the center out.
Tight lines, Rich
I have been looking for the same part and now I know what to do!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. You want to send me a few:) just kidding!
