Curado 70XG

Bought two new 70’s last summer two months apart. Cleaning both today and one has BNT 5324, Key Washer Spacer, in it and other one does not?.. I used both and could see no difference. Am I missing something? If it is supposed to be there? If yes I can sure order from Shimano.

My opinion is that the drag stack height would be seriously compromised if the spacer is missing. Also, the key washer would have additional stress in that area that the spacer fits in.

It may feel right, but not for long.

Cheers.

OK, thanks. Looks like an assembly oversight, but no big deal. I will get one from Shimano CA.

Cleaning another reel today and moved my work mat to recover a screw and there staring at me is the washer from the Curado 70 somehow way up under my work mat on the bench. Boy, do I fell stupid..

Meh, try putting a whole reel together to find out you forgot the 2 springs for the yoke.

It seems I do recall that happening once or twice over the last 15 years
