You can put a TDZ103 spool (or any 34 mm spool really) in an OG zillion / OG Zillion Type R. You need a spacer to eliminate the 2mm space that a 34 mm spool creates vs a 36mm spool that a zillion uses.

TDZ100m drops right in the OG zillions without any spacer needed.

Here's an OG zillion /w a TDZ Type R+ spool in it. Works perfectly.

In the mail from a really nice guy. They were machined for a precise fit. They snap in really snug on the inner race on each side and are a perfect fit. He sent me 6-8 of them. I can put SV spools in TDZ100s now.
