Looking for a gold hood/nut to fit an Aero 16 seat, anything compatible from another seat or mfg?

Thank you!

Mike,
Drop me an e-mail.

hfllier@comcast.net

I have one and will send it to you.

Here is a picture of the gold nuts that I have:

[www.rodbuilding.org]

When I used the nut on a rod, I trimmed it shorter so that when the reel is tight, the nut comes just to the end of the threads. Then, I buffed the nut to remove the ridges that are standard for this nut.

This nut came from a batch of closed out pieces that I picked up many years ago.

If he picks up another seat - spinning - casting That has a gold hood he will just take one off and replace it with the other Butt he will have still a complete seat he can use in stead of a hood he has to figure out where to use it

Any other 16 thread nut will fit an Aero reel seat ( from Fuji , Pacific Bay or any other producer).
