Old Saltiga 6500 drag upgrade
December 24, 2012, 08:54:55 PM
Does anyone know where to currently purchase a set of upgraded drag washers (5 of them) for an old Saltiga 6500 Dogfight?

Cleaning mine today (already upgraded) and they are just so worn.

If anyone has pointers I would be very grateful.

They are readily available from Sabre in Singapore or Malaysia or buy direct from www.smoothdrag.com

G'day Mark,

Here is a site in the USA that I came across on another forum that has carbontex upgrades for Saltiga and others that may help you and the prices are pretty good as well.
