The G mags are ok for clean ground but won't take heavier ground too well so go easy with it Scotty. The eccentric lever and clutch plate are the parts that go on them. I bought a Six from Ebay sold in not working condition, the ad said it was slipping on the retrieve, so I had it to bits and these were the parts that had worn badly.
As for getting the parts, I sent an email to Greys stating which bits I needed and they got back to me with a price straight away. Cost more in admin and postage than the actual parts cost but I have to say the service was excellent.
I have used it many times and have had no bother with it but I am always wary pulling too hard with it.
The paintwork on the frame flakes off as well for no reason, the one I have has a couple of patches on it. The quick release side plate is excellent on them and the mags are not too bad either.
Open to offers for mine
Not a fiver either Reg
