Question Regarding Luvias

[Piscateur]

Specifically, the schematic that came with my Luvias 1003 shows about 5 washers and 2 felt ones. When I opened the spool up ie remove the Haxagonal clip then the "cup" shaped washer with gears for the clicker on the inside, there was only one felt washer thereafter. ie no metal washers at all.
I bought this reel secondhand and wonder if the washers have been removed? If anyone has a Luvias 1003 it would be greatly appreciated if you can check the number washers it has

Does anyone know of a website where you can download schematics of reels in english?

Thanks in advance

Best bet would be to e-mail Daiwa Aust.I'm sure someone there would be able to help.

im probably wrong but dont the 1003 spools only have the 'cup' and 1 felt washer, like the 2004, 2506 etc.....
and im sure you would notice if washers are missing as there would be a masive gap between the cup and retaining clip.

Spot on. The Luvias 1003 only has 1 "finesse" washer and cup arrangement. On the schematic there should be a separate drag stack on the diagram, next to the multi-disc one. That one represents the 1003 spool. Also, there are a couple other bits that are only found on the 1003 or finesse models: in the items table, they have the reel numbers next to them.

To get a multi-disc drag stack, you'd have to get a different spool. Most Real4 2000 size will fit, so will the 1503 (I think it is a finesse setup though). The Fuego 1000A (US) will give a deep spool 1000 with a multi-disc stack.

my 1000A fuego has the single plate and washer finesse drag as well...

Hi mate, I've got an old Ryobi sitting around if you want to grab the washers off that. You can make them out of old take away containers too, but you have to cut them down to size first.

Thanks guys , just neeeded to know as I bought the reel second hand and the drag wasnt that smooth in the heat of battle. The felt washer did look a little compressed ie a ring of thicker felt on the outside. is it a simple fis just to replace the felt washer or any other suggestions.
Mozzz thanks for the offer but I think the Ryobi washers a a little too thick.
Thanks Again.

PM nugg, he just had his ALPHAS upgraded, specs are pretty much the same so he migth be able to give you a quick idea as to what direction to take

[Piscateur]

Maybe a silly question but do Baitcasters and Spins share the same parts for drag. And as Ben K mentioned would ther be any room for another washer.

[Hotrods]

mmm dunno, never tried, but i dont think so....

and no, no room for extra washers, you would need 1 felt + 1 more S/S...
