Got a small question: I found the drag star that I think looks perfect for my TDZ. Its the Zillion Type R, very close color and looks way good. The fitment is almost perfect but juuuust not enough clearance with the cast control knob when tightened all the way down(drag) So here are the questions: is there a simple solution Im not thinking of I only need two more complete turns on the cast control knob to clear. Is there a way to add space between the drag star and frame? a tad shallower cast control knob,, if its possible id like to run these but need a solution especially on the 105 with light lures.
Thanks in advance.

Add a washer under the drag star

There’s a flat washer that’s under the stock star that goes on top of the drag spring washers. You can add 1 more of the flat washers to gain a little clearance between the two parts.

You can also roll or fold the drag thrust washers a little more so they put pressure on the drag stack sooner, but the extra washer works, too. It might not let you back off the drag 100% after adding extra washer(s).
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I thought I would have to change them to the PX type R and even thought it clears better the Zillion Type R looks soooo much better.
I put the PX type R on the OG Fuegos, and they look great. I was going to put one a SOL but Brian told me the shaft is too shot and I would need to do the clicker conversion so that kinda killed that but it looked great on that reel.
