Shimano VBS brake block sizes - what fits what ?

[r61]

Hello,

I am in search of a Shimano calcutta 400a brake block. I tried to remove one from an old grenniencurado, but it is slightly taller than the calcutta.

Does anybody know of another Shimano reel that might be more abundant for parts that would share the same size brake block??

Thanks for the help!

Part number BNT1713 is compatible with at least 50 other Shimano reels.

Look up https://www.ereplacementparts.com/brake ... 41115.html, and take your pick.

Cheers,

Terry.

Thank you very much I’ll have a look!

Oh I am looking for the actual brake block or braking mechanism itself, not the brake weights.....

Oh, sorry !

The brake block is part of the spool, so not available as a separate item to purchase. You might be better off buying an old spool, or a donor reel.

What is wrong with yours ? If you still have all the pins, you can repair the case with some super-glue.

Cheers.

Terry.

Have you tried contacting any of Shimano's warranty repair facilities?

Locate the one nearest to you and ask them.

I have contacted one, but they did not have the part available. This was an authorized Shimano warranty and service provider, but wasn’t Shimano Shimano direct. The last time I tried to contact them they never got back to me. Maybe I’ll try them again...
