I posted this in the Reels Forum, and then realized that it's probably better posted here.

I changed my Quantum Smoke Burner aluminum main gear to brass, and the gear face that the drag washer lays against/engages is a little thinner. I need to find a .5mm washer to take up the distance.
Is there a site that offers sst washers for reels?

The original drag washer is 1.45mm thick.
Can I just put in two 1mm thick Smooth Drag washers, face to face with no sst washer between, and still have the drag work?

I wouldnt do that. If those carbon washers are together like that, they will usually damage each other very quickly.

Thanks. That's what I thought might happen.
I found some washers for that reel that should work on the Zebco parts site. They are only $.14 each, so I'll order some and see if they work. The shipping is more than the washers, so I'll probably order some new drag washers, too. Mine are 10+ years old.
