Shimano 400 A parts

[Dave RI]

Hi guys ,

I am looking for parts for A Shimano Corsair 400 A , all i need is the level wind finger and all it's componenets the pawl and shim and cap , does anyone know where i may find one ? Shimano has discontinued parts for this reel in 2000 . Any help would be great . Thank you !!!

Dave, how are you?? 

Your best bet is to contact Shimano Service 877-577-0600   They "were" exchanging the Corsair for new Corvalus for $35...   (that was last summer??)....

It is almost impossible to get parts for the Corsair, unless you can find a donor reel.....
Even then they do have some issues, which is why they were discontinued .....

If you want to chance it, you might get the Parts for Corvalus that you need.  They often are interchangeable But its a risk.   
Might ask the Service people, but they dont like to give out that info either!!

Your kind of between a rock & a hard spot...  Best option is the exchange for $35 IMHO...

this won't help you now, but perhaps some day in the future.  i have a crate of old shimano parts. it will take me a year to sort everything out.  finding anything right now would be impossible.  sorry.  alan

um, do you have the part numbers anyway? 

[Dave RI]

ALan ,

I did find the parts out of Seaside tackle in FLA. they are sending them out for me tomorrow , i still need the Shimano Status parts but will deal with them when this other Shimano is all done . Thank you for your time !!             


Best

I was reading this and it made me think I had one somewhere so I went to my reel cupboard and at the far back was a corsair CS-400 box and inside was a new reel never used and for the life of me I don't know why I cannot   even remember getting it . ...rod

Funny how we HAVE  to have something and it gets lost in the shuffle of life!!

Many Corvalis parts are interchangeable with Corsair parts.

After putting Carbontex drags in my gold Corsair reels they are a very good reel.
