Turboal, you could try this one, it's from smoothdrag for a Shimano CT200

It's   1.051 OD

         .502 ID

         .042 thickness

Get a dremel and knock a little bit off the OD., the ID will be a little larger but that will not matter and your only about .007 less in thickness. Hope that helps....

The list of penn washers is measured in millimeters.  If you have a moment to convert your dimensions, we might be able to find something.

Alan, I totally forgot your list of ht-100's. I just went and grabbed some washers out of the drawer and a set of calipers and measured a few. Yeah, metric is the way but standard is just click away.....

Hi, I went thru that list and none of them will work.
I guess i will have to buy some material and make them.

Hi all, Dawn says the closest match is from a Calcutta 700
1.065x.325x.044  they just need a little trimming on the o.d.

Hi all, just a note to tell everyone that Dawn at Smooth drag came
thru. she sent me the drag washers i could modify to fit my beach reel.
Surfs up at the Jersey shore and the strippers and big blues are running.
a 57+ lb stripper was caught last week.I think i need a BIGGER surf rod.
