Thanks for the reply MT. I will have another look at it later, I seem to have tried every which way! Before I took the reel apart the spool fitted perfectly and the little black adjuster screw in the top of the hub screwed in flush with the sides of the hub. Now I have tried to put it back together, when the screw is in flush, the spool sits about 4mm of the backplate!! I will try and post various pictures to show the problems im having!

slacken off the three retaining screws ,so they're just nipped up ,you've probably over tightened them and deformed the plastic hub cap .then re-adjust the centre grub screw ,see if that makes a difference.
i too ,now have a mordex merlin ,i'm hoping too make a new brass centre hub cap for it as the plastic ones are rubbish ,i've also removed the rubbish handles oh and all the paint ,just preparing it for a respray then make some new handles then it'll be my loaner reel or casting practice reel
