Just received my PayPal invoice notification email. Payment sent.

Just a heads up. The email title is "Ultimate Upgrade via PayPal". I thought it was spam and almost deleted it. Might want to change it to Newell Ultimate Upgrade via PayPal.

Thanks Frank.

Note that plates may not align with Blackie bridges. I need to check against a Blackie side plate again.  I may need to do an adjustment and another run for blackies only.

If you ordered a set for your Blackie and want to return it, please send it back and I'll gladly refund your money plus shipping back to me as I had mailed it out to you.

Thank you,
Bryan

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

The bridge plate holes need to sit on the posts of the side plate. Then the spacer needs to fit loosely between the side plate and the gear sleeve. I suspect that the spacer diameter may need to be turned down a little or alignment is slightly off. Please post pics will help me diagnosis the problem. Mahalo.

Brian it seems like if i tighten drag the problem goes away. could the bellevue washer be rubbing on plate. perhaps my drag washers too thick? as soon as i slack drag it binds again

Finished up my first conversion to the new side plates.  The reel used was a 332 that was narrowed down to 2" with the 5 stack drag stack.  Had to throw a little paint on the handle, star, reel base & clamp, and the support posts (bars).  Hope it meets your approval.

My kids helped me put the kits together and kept things separated. It was two folds, I could quickly QA their work and to make sure we had sufficient parts.

Went to see Newell Savant Mikey Bluefish today. Upgraded my S332 with black side plates.

I need to learn to post pictures. The result is Dope, like butter.

Thanks Mike!

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Those came out beautiful, but I don't have a single Newell reel? 
I feel your pain David. Anything Tom makes is top Notch, but I haven't a Single Newell either.
I'm too busy buying Bohemoths from Italy.
You did good on this Bryan.
Kudos to you Brother.
Nice looking reels guys. ;)

OK, Finished up the Family.  Only had minor problems with two bridge plate screws.  Everything else were perfect fits and the free spools are long and true.
