Cross Reference Help

Post by sjs2002 » Wed Jan 01, 2020 8:05 pm

I am a little clumsy taking out the spool bearing retaining clip on my 16 Aldebaran BFS XG and am just waiting for them to fly across the room to never be found. I would like to have some spares if possible. I was wondering if this part might be able to be cross referenced to Shimano U.S. to buy. It is #97 on their parts list and is on the non handle side of the reel. The size of the spool bearing is 3x7x3mm. I am trying to not to have to buy overseas if possible for the clips or rings. Thank you!

The clip is something I would need to match up in size. I need the bearing measurement in ID x OD x W to assist me with matching it to one of ours, assuming we have a similar bearing size.

We do not have either the clip or a bearing that will fit. I spoke to our QC engineer and he checked the drawings and specs. The bearing is oil filled and not something we have. The bearing is smaller than anything we use in the US models as well as the clip.
