Oh yeah, and last but not least... Double alternating SS dogs. Thanks to a friend across the big pond ;D ;D
Wow!!!
That's a purdy reel you created there. How did you make those torq screws?
Gorgeous reel Bob ;), I also want to know how you guys made those torx screws and where did you get them from.
Sal
Bryan and Sal, I'm not in my shop right now to find out where I ordered the 5-50 SS flat head Torx. The edge was taken off with a bench grinder on the side of the wheel. Then buffed with a dremmel and compound. If you look close enough you will see the screws are not all uniform. Best I could do with stone age tools. If that four letter word "work" wouldn't get in the way I think I would have done a better job on them.
Bob
Looks good to Me Bob!
Nice Job Buddy! ;)
Now that is schweeeet!
I too especially like the custom torx screws... cool look.
Nice Keta cranker too, looks burly ;)
looks sweet :o now go get a big ole reef donkey
Beautiful reel you have created there Bob. Nice work on the Torx screws. Would be a pity to get fish scales on that one ;)
Thanks guys. Tom I'd put scratches on it if it means FISH!!
The work you did on that reel is beautifull & the screws really make that reel PoP.
I thought the Penn screws were 5/40
Mike
Awesome job Bob.
Definitely a Alto Jr. Reel
Mike, your right . I ment 5-40's

Try chucking the screw in a drill and then grinding them running the drill counter to the grinder stone.
Nice job......I've got an old 113h I'm about to do the same think to
Very nice; I've been dragging along with the same build for a while now. How did you set up your second dog spring? Any photos of that side plate after the modification?

Lee, that's a great idea ;D next couple Im gonna try that! Thanks
Floating dock. Here's where the idea came from ;)

stainless steel gear sleeve?
I agree Alan, I wouldn't think the brass Jigmaster sleeve would stand up to Bryan's drags for long.
Fantastic reel by the way. I'm not going the narrow route, have you seen the BFS on ebay?
Ron
my experience, SS sleeve should be OE on all expensive conventional SD reels. what's expensive, i guess that's subjective. ;D
Oops :P of course a Alan T SS sleeve. I've changed soooo many of these hat you almost take it for granted. Sorry Alan. In the evolution of this reel that was the first upgrade! ;)
OK Bob, I got me some ss hex screws from McMaster Carr and decided to give it a shot

Not as shiny as yours, but I still like it.
Thanks for the tip guys.
Every Penn reel of mine will soon look like that! That is cool.
Ron
Sal, did you turn them with a lathe or like Lee suggested, with them chucked up in a drill and turned in the opposite direction of the grinding wheel? I know you were looking into a lathe so I'm thinking that would give a nice uniform appearance. BTW that reel is a work of art!
Bob
No Bob, no lathe yet, It's going to have to wait for now. I chucked them up on my hand held dremel and let them spin while working a grinding stone to it. Very easy to do, but you need to be careful applying too much pressure, let the tool do the work.
Where did you get your screws? mine were roughly .7cents each.
I think on amazon? I've been on such a screw jones lately. It's probably for another thread but, what's your thoughts on the 114H screws. Again a difficult find. They are a 8-40. I was thinking maybe drill and tap to say a 10-32. Then there would be a heck of a lot more options. :-\

So the dremel didn't damage the threads? Why a stone vs. a file?
The Dremel's collet holds the screw almost full contact, if it does damage the threads it's only rolling them and they can be straightened out with a die nut.
Stones tend to leave a smoother finish.
I'm surfing McMaster-Carr for the first time .... nice !
are those torx screws you're using flat head or button head ?
8-32, T-15 right? what's the length?
actually, I'm looking at them for my 113h too.... they're probably different eh?
thanks
E
No Damage on the threads, but as I mentioned above, I don't apply too much pressure.
I've tried the file, a stone does a better job. I actually use a sharpening stone that came with my vintage hand crank.
You might find other options, use whatever works for you.
Here you go Erik:

I did get the 5/8 also.
Sal
This is all good stuff! Now when I get on a head boat if I see someone with these kinda screws I'll know they are part of the A.T. Team ;D

I was thinking about doing this, especially since I need to buy some screws to finish this project.
Now you leave me no choice!
What other reels do these fit? There's a lot of interchangeable parts in the jigmaster series and the 112H. Perhaps squidders and other small Penns?
I have two fastener stores within two miles of my house. I'll be going out later.
I'm pretty sure the 113H uses the 5-40 screw. I'm not 100% positive on the smaller 140's and 200's. Maybe someone could chime in on this who does know? :-\
Thanks Sal !
3 bucks for a box of 50 is great! If I could even find those screws here, they'd be 3 bucks EACH..... at least!
Bought my screws, beveled the heads on a sharpening stone using a dremel, then polished the heads.
The side plate has a bit of JB Weld that needs to set up overnight. Tomorrow I can start assembly.
