[QUOTE="marcochezzi, post: 974574, member: 21001"] On the back of the spindle I cut away what was left of the original shaft, and then cut a M4 thread.. The reason for the thread is to position a washer and nut between the back of the diecast plate and the shaft, effectively stopping the risk of the shaft coming off the trident.. Since the shaft is a press fit on the diecast trident, I do not want this "wallowing" its way out, leaving me with a reel that comes off during rewind at speed, cutting my docs throat & wrapping the cat in 3600 feet of tape before she suffocates and leaves this spinning marble in a cloud of mystery.. Its probably overkill, but since I really like my dogs but don't give a rats arse about the cat, I thought it a safe thing to do.. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/u1KPvgD.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
