I have an Adcock Stanton , not a true "pin" but nevertheless I do like it , it is one of newer models with a "plastic " reel seat, but the reel seat is very naff, therefore I have made a copy from Brass and stainless steel,it looks a whole lot better, but I am stuck now..
Does anybody know what threads the "plastic" reel seat screws are ? I am having problems identifying them.
There are two sizes, 2 cheesehead screwst that holds the ratchet spring , the screws go through the backplate into the "Plastic".
The second set of 3 countersunk screws also go through the backplate into the " plastic "
Both sets of screw holes are drilled and threaded through the alloy backplate, and also threaded in the "plastic ".
I know I could drill retap the screws, not a problem, but I want to retain the original plastic reel seat in case I move the reel on and the new owner prefers the lighter plastic as opposed to the stainless and brass replacement.
Cheers
