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?

Re: Drag question
I wouldnt do that. If those carbon washers are together like that, they will usually damage each other very quickly.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Thanks. That's what I thought might happen.hoohoorjoo wrote:I wouldnt do that. If those carbon washers are together like that, they will usually damage each other very quickly.
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.
