are there replacement carbontex or smoooth drag washers available for the 930/940?

I doubt there are after market drag washers for the 930/940. Those reels took a unique size. Penn no longer supplies them but MysticParts.com does have the original leather drag washers in stock. By "steel gear" I assume you are referring to a steel gear sleeve. Again, these are not available to these reels but given that these reels generate only a little drag, you shouldn't need one.

I think the Penn HT-100s for a squidder should fit in a levelmatic.

Squidder drags could be made to fit but will need some trimming.

I have reference from another customer that this drag works:
