Agreed, many thanks to both of you. We must think of a way to repay matts generosity, i was going to suggest a few floats.

I'm pretty sure that it will be a Fiver in total.......if I sell them all it'll be a tad less.

At the moment PayPal is doing free transfers too, which all helps.

Will do Thommo, there should be a spare pair.


I've not heard from Matt, possibly the Aussie Post Office doesn't open at the week-end?

I'm just printing another run of these, I spooled up the Speedia and there was too much gap between the spool and the plastic. I have fixed the model and hopefully it will be a more snug fit. Cheers.

Actually pretty easy, I also modified the model so that no mods are necessary, the new model clears the mounding rivet of the handle, so it was a good mistake to make. I can't make the wide model with any certainty though, and they may well have a gap between the spool and the plastic.

Hi all,

The remake went well, 16mm is the actual distance between plates and although a tight fit, saves line getting caught between the plate and the spacer. I have also taken out some plastic to line up with the handle mounting points on the underside of the top reel plate. Much more effective and shouldn't require any further modification.
