A question I've been asking myself also...the ol sphincter always tightens in that .00001 second where you think you may just be about to bash the limiter....

Spool gears are only $400ish anyway, fitting isn't much more. For peace of mind it's worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read looks closer to $2k, with the majority of the cost in labour. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you start thinking 'may as well get them to throw in some new rods' etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
