trond_solem was doing a bit of CAD work with Penn frames back in 2015 and toying with getting someone to make them at a reasonable cost. He started talking 113H and Ted suggested the LB 60 would have no competition and possibly strong demand due to the number of 60's out there https://alantani.com/index.php?topic=12633.0 There was also talk of drilling holes to suit the 2/0 plates as well - no one mentioned using it for the 85 or delmar though? 
Trond hasn't been active here since 2016 - I assume he didn't find a 'reasonable' priced manufacturer.

We may have lost Trond as there is Zero activity from him here since  December 20016 and None on his website for over 6 years.

Since the 60 and 2/0 (and also the 85, etc.) use the same spools, I would guess that one kit would work for both models.  The hole patterns are different, but it probably wouldn't be a problem to drill all of the holes to fit both.

These reels never caught on here on the left coast but if we can get 35 people who are willing to buy one I would be happy to have them made.

Thank you,

Randy

I'd go for a pair.

[Vintage Offshore Tackle]

I'd go for a pair.

Thank you John!  That's a good start.

I don't even know what reel this is gonna fit but I will take a couple or more if the price is right.

This kit would fit the 60, 85, 111 2/0 Senator, 112 (black) 3/0 Senator, and a few others.

My best guess is the price would be in the $155-160 range.

[Wompus Cat]

Well ain;t the 185 /285 Delmar same size and plate patterns
Then what about sideplates ?

[Vintage Offshore Tackle]

Yes they are.  Tiburon does not make side plates.  Cortez Conversions might make them if there is enough demand.

We are talking a one piece frame Right ?

That is correct, a one piece topless aluminum frame.

I have a 2/0 accurate frame if you wanted to use it for A template or something

[thorhammer]

160 for frame alone? Randy I think I'm with you on the drag part then...that makes a 200 dollar reel not as good as a 150 dollar progear by a mile

Wow, I didn't know a 2/0 frame existed.  I'd love to find one.

No John, that's for the complete kit (frame, spool and rod clamp kit).  I would assume that it would be narrower than the stock 60-2/0.

[Decker]

Narrower sounds interesting, but I think there would be more demand for a standard-width frame.  Either way, I'd buy one.
