Title: WTB: Spool Cap/Release Lever Cap for JW Young Seldex
Post by: Stickleback on November 28, 2015, 04:47:54 PM: Definitely a long shot.

If you have one of these reels laying around out of commission, please let me know.

I broke the Black Bushing/Spool Cap (aka, release lever cap) on my Seldex a few years ago due to a bad slip. It would be nice to take this reel off the shelf and fish it again.

Thanks.

I have the same problem. I inquired a year ago on most forums, and seems they are hard to come by. I did find the same guy in England, however the shipping costs didn't make it worth my while.

Good luck, I hope you get one.

Thanks for your reply. Here is a picture of the broken piece. Unfortunately I also lost the spring that holds the spool retention lever in the process. My friend was able to bend a piece of metal which can be seen in the picture to wedge the lever under the spindle; holding the spool in place.
