Baitrunner repair

[Ian Murfin]

I've got a chip where the bait arm joins the roller on my Shimano baitrunner Aero 6000 GTE. I've tried Felindre but they say the parts are no longer available. They have said that if i post it to them them they could try and see if they have something else that would fit but this sounds like a bit of a long shot and could prove costly if unsuccessful. I don't suppose there is anyone else out there that might have parts? Or anyone have any bright ideas?

@Clive Shipman may have a damaged/broken one maybe?

Have you got a set of calipers Ian

 

[Ian Murfin]

I have some cheap ones from screwfix Richard.

 

[Richard Isaacs]

They’ll do.
cross reference some measurements and see what you get to these

 

[Richard Isaacs]

Missed one

Looks a little different Richard

 

[Richard Isaacs]

It does a bit.
If your prepared to send it to me then I’m prepared to have a go at possibly converting it over. Can’t promise it will be a success but I’m pretty good with stuff like that.
if sucsessful we can sort out a small fee for my work and if not it just costs you the postage charge. Your choice.

That's really kind of you thanks Richard. Leave it with me a day or two as I'm mulling over biting the bullet and going for new reels.

Hi Ian, there is a 6000 GTB going for spares or repairs on ebay, might be worth a punt!
