Twin Power PG Parts

Brian Richardson:
Hi Folks

I have an old and faithful Twin Power PG 8000 for the last 10 years.  She's needing some TLC.  Does anyone know where I can get parts?  The gears seem to be in good shape but the drag guts need replacement.  I've attached some pictures.

Thanks
Brian

Christoffer Hansen:
You can cut new washers from carbotex sheet. Try calling shimano, parts may still be available.

Andy Rowe:
Brian, I have the same real, please do update us on how you go with parts, I love the old TP and may be in the same position soon, good luck.

Brian Richardson:
I tried a tackle shop in Singapore by email.  They got back saying Shimano didn't have the parts. Maybe someone in Australia.   i think asia and Australia were sold these reels, I don't think they were sold in US.  There is a good following of satisfied fisherman for this reel.

I'll keep looking and post back.

Ian Young:
The 2002 Twinpower 6000FB, which was sold in Australia, has an identical drag stack, I think, though you'd best clarify with Shimano Oz. I've used parts from the 6000FB on my Japanese 8000PG before. I'd also recommend replacing those brittle dartanium washers with some carbontex.
Best wishes
Ian
