sideplate on Scorpion 1000mg, plastic or mg?
Is the sideplate on a 1000mg (external brake adjustment side) plastic or magnesium?
I'm pretty sure it's plastic. Just checking because I may be doing a paintjob on the sideplate (clearcoat comming off bad!), and need to know before I attempt it.

From the type of wear on my friend's, it looks like it's made of plastic... i think someone here would be able to confirm.
I think it's about time Shimano revamp the scorpion series to include HEG and some other new features found on the new Metanium Mg.

It totally freakin sucks!
I take care of it ,(I'm a little anal about my equipment/boat) spend extra $ for upgraded spool bearings, upgraded drag washers, and a 4 ball bearing 85mm ZPI carbon fiber handle, to have it do this!!!
Not happy! I have another that's not doing it "yet".

Does anyone use a protective coating on their reels?

I have to change it on my Scorpion, not my fault and Shimano Japan did it w/o charge other than S&H.phatbass wrote:I did a replacement on a curado 100b.jeff
And you are right, they are graphite, I could see it on my broken part.
