[Avail] ABU Aluminum Worm Shaft 2BB Model for Ambassadeur 1500C/2500C [WS-15C-2BB-S/WS-25C-2BB-S]

Aluminum Worm Shaft 2BB Model for Ambassadeur 1500C/2500C [WS-15C-2BB-S/WS-25C-2BB-S]


| Product Introduction



This is an aluminum worm shaft with bearings that can be installed on ABU Ambassadeur 1500C/2500C reels.
In addition to the 2-ball bearing specification, lightweight materials have been adopted for each part.
This achieves both improved rotation performance and weight reduction.
This product can be disassembled by "fixing with screws" the "gear", "bearing", and "worm shaft retainer".
As a result, maintainability has also been improved.
Furthermore, by combining Avail's 5152 Cogwheel, Ultra Light Level Winder Set, and Pilot Guide, even greater rotation performance improvement and weight reduction are possible.
It is recommended to purchase and install these parts as a set with the worm shaft.
