Hi.

After recently stripping and servicing my Mitchell 600 I find I am in
need of some replacement screw for the reel foot and side plates. I
have had a couple of quotes for "new old stock" but they are very
expensive - does anyone know what size / thread the screws should be?
Or where i could get some cheap replacements?

Cheers!

Marc

You could always ask the manufacturer in instances such as these - for
example, the reel handle came off my reel because the nut on the other side
came off somewhere as I was walking across a shingle beach at night and of
course, I never found it. I emailed Shakespeare and explained and they
asked for my address and a few days later they had posted it to me free of
charge.

Now that is what I call service. Bravo and thankyou to Shakespeare!

Perhaps Mitchell would be just as kind to you?

the mitchell site only seems to have contact addresses for dealer, i
have already tried the one for the UK. I stumbled accross this site
so i have ordered from them.
