WTB Parts for a Bronson 66

Post by AkMike »

I'm trying to get my Grandfathers Bronson 66 rod and reel up and running and I cannot find a part for it. It's a green aluminum knurled wheel about 3/4" diameter with a chromed brass insert in it. The wheel and insert are LH threads. Both of these fit into the crank handle and retained with a forked spring clip.

Other than scouting Ebay do any of you have suggestions where or who may have this item?
I have gotten pictures of these parts from my cousin for reference. And LOL no, he won't part with his!

Thanks

Hopefully, someone here can help you. Remember, too, that parts for a later True Temper 66 would be interchangeable.

I got a newer T type knobbed handle (Type B? )that fit the shaft and made a small spacer to take up the extra room that the other parts used.

Hardly pristine but it'll work just fine.
