Anyone know the best place for Pflueger medalist / south bend finalist spare parts .
I am looking for a ratchet plate to convert my RHW finalist to LHW .
Its not the normal plastic reversible plate , but a metal one that is only RHW .
any help much appreciated .

He machines parts for Pflueger Fly reels: This from his website...
"I currently machine reel feet, drag (ratchet) plates, brake adjusting screws, round line guides, replacement handles, counterbalances, aluminum latch covers, sculpted frame pillars, and click pawls (for models 1494 through 1498). I also offer frame screws, and both cam- and pawl springs. These three product offerings are also made in the USA, and by well established specialty shops."
Nice high end parts for sure.
Good luck. Wayne
Many thanks el Pescador ive contacten him .A metal ratchet plate would
