Daiwa SS SV-- in-and-out handle play?

I'm just took delivery of a used SS SV. The previous owner had swapped out the handle, the star drag wheel, and the mechanical brake adjustment button and side plate screws.

The issue with the reel is play between the lever and the body of the reel; in and out. I'd estimate it moves about 2mm. I haven't tried to disassemble anything yet. Tightening down the drag does have any effect on the play. I read the TT review of this reel and the reviewer did say that with the drag on low settings there was some movement in the test reel but I'm not sure if it's the same as the issue with my reel. I'm wondering if this is normal or if possibly there might be a washer missing somewhere-- I can see in the schematic that there are three washers inboard of the star and the ring that's sitting under it.

If any of you guys have SS SVs could you check and let me know? This would be holding the reel body and pulling the handle away and then toward the reel.

I've tried to attach a photo with the tip of a pen showing where the play is at.

Thanks!

My ss sv is stock and it has a small amount of in and out play that not noticeable unless you pull on it.

None in mine. I've noticed that when swapping drag stars with various reels, they don't always fit like a glove and can alter how much you can loosen and tighten the drag. The drag star you're using is a Steez drag star, and should work fine. I would assume it's missing a washer. I just sold a T3 Mx and the buyer brought to my attention the drag would not fully tighten. I had replaced the original star with a Zillion Type R and never noticed. He put a drag star off an Alphas sv on it and it's fine now. Go figure

Mine has the small amount that most of them do. Nothing you'd normally notice. Could be that whoever swapped the handle installed the spring washers in wrong. Turn them around to where they are opposing each other and that should eat up that play and improve your drag pressure. He may have lost a washer or two as well, or maybe the handle itself is thinner than stock and needs to be shimmed.

While we're on the subject, does anyone know if a tatula drag star will mount right up to these with the stock handle? I'd like a longer one so I can twitch shakey heads one handed, but I don't want a longer handle.

It should. Steez, Zillion, T3, and Tat should all interchange.
