Thanks for the input fellas. As luck would have it I just pulled an order for some aluminum parts and talked the customer into anodizing them purple. :-) Going to machine down the foot to standard size, vapor blast the remaining color off and re anodize it with my customers parts. Shame Avet hasn't figured out the inshore capabilities of their SX single speed reels, and people's objections to putting them into beefed up seats. Yes it works...but an Accurate 197 has 50# of drag, yet slides into ALL reel seats. Just my $.02.

If I go heavier, those Fuji H series seats look nice Leif. Thanks!
