Hi lads i have a small issue with my friends Penn 525 mag2 the problem was he tried to clean it and he dropped it and the parts went everywhere so he gathered them up and being a novice to reel cleaning he has no idea how to put it back together. I service my reels all the time and have never had any bother but he gave me a bag with all the bits in so i put it all back together apart from 1 washer reel works fine but i have dismantled my reel to try and find were the washer has came from and cant find it in my reel either. I have looked on the instructions and the only thing that resembles the washer is part number 120 but i have no idea were it go's in real here is a picture hope someone can post me a picture showing were it go's cheers Parky.

Sits between the star drag and handle. When you slacken the drag right off the washer is slighty beveled and cushions the drag before it hits the handle.
 
Nah lads its not its much smaller than that washer and that's black on the 525 mag and its in place already this washer is not beveled and smaller
 
its the Metal Thrust Washer m8 it goes in the Spool Tension Control Cap;)

There's a small washer that fits behind the spool tension control cap.
I think it fits inside the reel case, and goes on before the baring.
