I'm sure they are fine, however the say the screws that hold the cover on aren't long enough. That is why I asked for one that came with all necessary hardware

You use the same screw that's on your current reel handle cap. Don't over tighten and strip the threads.

you can get just a hair longer screw for the cap at your local bolt and screw specialty shop..there a lot cheaper i get mine from shamrock bolt and screw company....along with other screws for the reel...


If it ain't broke don't fix it...but go ahead and work on it anyway.....
