    I was looking at the 270 spool ,  the one with 6 screws and the little key washer on top .     After taking it apart i decided to make a new center section .
    I wanted to make it were i can put drag washers and frictions in it .   That started the thought process of what to do with the top of the spool , do i cut it ,or make a new
     one also.     
   

             I decided to make that also , that way i didn`t have a button to get in the way.   It will give me a lot of room to increase drag washer diameter .
   
     
     

       After playing with it some how i made the bottom plate also .   Yep a complete new spool now
     
     
     
     

       

        Time to make drag washers  .    Stainless steel fender washers was the stock to start with ,   .030 thousandths thick , 1 inch width
         Made 6 of each keyed and eared . 


         Yep all those washers fit in there 9 steel and 9 fiber ,  .580 stacked height well is .610 depth .   I used old frictions for test fit , they are about .025 each .
         i will use .50 and some .70 mm sheets to make the rite size washers.
       
         
         

     Size conparsion of the washers  Small , standard and super size .

Am I gettin' this straight?  You made a whole new spool for this reel?  Did it in a way that increased the drag size?  I find that way better than McGiver--way better.  Extremely impressive.  Looks like all aluminum body.

Well done, there's a lot of hand work there - the washers alone would have been a lot of filing.

It can't be too difficult - a lot of people do it.

    ;D      OK i  ;Do have a turn of the century Seneca falls lathe ..


   A simple jig to hold the washers and a few cuts with a scroll saw to make the tongue washer , with a needle file clean up..
   Block of wood with a hole and 2 sheet screws .
   
   
   The ear washers i just stack on a bolt and nut and rough cut on a bench grinder   .

    Another spool in the rough .
