Could you expand on that a little MD? I don't think mine wobbles but if it does what am I looking for and what is the cure?
Hi .. Sorry took so long to reply not been too good recently .
If you take the circlip off that holds the plate and drag clutch on put the drive plate on a flat surface mine did not have any of the leavs on the same level so it was a real dog to engage the spool since i leveled it all up it is a treat just tighten the draup up a little and the reel engages or disenges easily but does not woble around , Also worth a look at the actual keyholoe shaped location holes are slightly depressed to hold the spool dogs make sure they are all the same amount of depression i found all 4 were different .
The next bit was the actual carrier that the spool and drag is fitted to this was a seriously bad fit on the brass shaft so i formed a shim out of thin brass sheet i found i needed 5 thou this is now as close to perfect as i can hope for .
The Meshing of the gears and the bearing packing is another thing entirely .
I will try to get s few picturs to show what i mean .
