The only thing I can suggest is to call various reel repairers who have dealt with Shimano reel servicing in the past. Felindre, Tackle Box in Kent and Bass Online would be my starting 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello mate , I know nothing about Shimano’s , being a Daiwa man myself, but is it one of these ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324273109091?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cr5uBV2KQAO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=o3DeM8ltSVu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felindre can’t help which surprised me somewhat but I’ll look into the others you’ve quoted.. 48 minutes ago, newmarket said: Hello mate , I know nothing about Shimano’s , being a Daiwa man myself, but is it one of these ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324273109091?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cr5uBV2KQAO&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=o3DeM8ltSVu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Afraid not my friend.. I have seen aftermarket ‘speed caps’ offered by Wester Developments and Custom Reel King but they tend to be listed for Daiwa and later Shimano Ultegra’s which have different drag arrangements. I’ll make a few phone calls and enquire if their products can be ‘modded’ to accommodate as an aluminium front drag cap would be much more dependable me thinks.. Many Thanks - Salmo9.. newmarket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
