Stella Parts Supplier?

Mark Harris:
Andy, I was talking to the Shimano tech in Bali about this issue only a few weeks ago. They had a lot of the same problem with the early 2008 Stellas and might just have some line rollers in stock still.

I think the bail arm roller design of the SW 2008s was a step backwards from the old models. 

Luke Wyrsta:
There was a running upgrade to the bail roller. It has now been rectified, so if purchasing a Stella today - there is no problem.

Kurt - your best bet for anything Shimano is Shimano Australia service department.

Jon Li:
Hi Andy ,

I m sure PT. Aneka Ragam should have the required spare parts , if they haven't then it's a matter of their getting them from Singapore where Shimano S.E.A. is located . Afterall they found the parts for my old Stella 1998 so the newer versions must be easier to source .

Jon .

Andy Rowe:
Thanks Jon / Mark, i shall look into it.

Luke, I meant to say, when purchasing the new stellas with the rectified bail arm roller, apparently there should be a blue dot sticker on the silver box the stella comes in.

Kurt Carlson:
Thanks for all the information.  I was told the reel I got was a 2009 model.  I do not see the blue dot on the box that Andy is talking about, but the schematic has a little 09 next to the reel model. 

Do any of you guys know if the SW18000HG (JDM) drag system is different than the export models.  I am downloading the schematic, but it is in Japanese.
