Does anyone make a 15mm OD poly arbor?

I’m looking for a perfect fitting poly arbor for the Fuji VSS 16-15.

If you strike out these things are a piece of cake to turn down to a smaller diameter. Especially on a drill press. Take a regular drill bit just a little bigger in diameter than the ID of the shim, twist it into the bore of the shim about an inch, then mount it into your drill press. Spin it and use coarse sandpaper to turn it down. Careful, they machine very easily and fast.

Fuji's NSA16S arbors fit all Fuji spinning reel seats.

10-4 on Michaels comment.

I generally buy size 17 arbors and turn each one down by chucking a rod in a variable speed drill and mount the arbor on the rod. Then I hold the spinning arbor against my belt sander with the sander turned on and continue until the arbor is a perfect fit for the inside of the reel seat.

Good luck
