The rod attached to the left side plate (bnt4022) on my Chronarch 100D7 snapped. Any info on replacing bar or left side plate as a whole would be greatly appreciated.

Mine corroded badly and went through a process of looking everywhere for a replacement... Non left that I could find?

So went through a long winded all by hand whittling metal adventure by turning a bolt onto the replacement part made of 316 stainless steel... Works really well.
But if you can find a replacement - do that... Or get a mini lathe to save heas of time.

How did you remove the piece from the frame?

0.7mm Allen key - same as the spool support on shimano spin reels.

Unfortunately we no longer have side plates in stock and that part is not available as a replacement.

I like the self turned replacement!

I'm pretty sure that this part is the same as on the Chronarch E.

That stainless steel shaft is moulded into the plastic side plate. Not a removable item and totally different closing concept.

Gotcha, I was thinking it was removable. I replaced a sideplate for a friend last year and was thinking it wasn't attached integrally.

The shaft in question on the D has a grub screw - Allen key 0.7mm and the shaft had that pin through it in which a cam lock mechanism forcefully pulls the side plate closed / a spring exists on the shafts end on the inside of the gearbox plate which pops it out when unlocked - quiet a bit different to the E series.
