Shakespeare 2700 spool washer

[Greg Foster]

Hi

I need a washer/spacer to stop my spool from wobbling 

it should sit under the circlip in the middle 

The reel is from the 70,s and is sentimental ,I cleaned it up to use in the summer 

my fault as I have misplaced the spacer

its about 12 to 13 mm width to fit into

 

i emailed a chap in Queensland who services and restores reels but have not heard back

any ideas greatly appreciated

Local bolt shop could probably help or local machining shop will probably be able to do something. I've had quite a few spacers/ washers made by a machine shop

If the lost washer/spacer was not keyed (flat spot in center hole) have you considered raising the washer you can see under the clip now and fitting a stainless washer underneath to fill the gap.

Hi Zoran

I have found a junk reel the same as mine on gumtree

can anyone suggest what to clean the rubbery washes with

eg dishwashing liquid then regrease or no grease

this reel is from the 70,s so unsure what washer is made from

thanks in advance
