Thanks for the excellent photo. The tang thickness is specified as 42 thousandths, but the 'depth' or measurement "G" is only a minimum dimension of 0.250". In your case you need something larger than 0.250" to fit snugly in your reel seat? Would pfoot accept a return?

Hi Yolo, I believe you are misreading the dwg. The 0.042 dim is actually the taper. It is the difference of the OD at the top of the taper with the OD at the bottom of the taper. The G dim is simply if you placed the pfoot on a flat plate and measured the height at the center. Anyway the thickness is not specified.

I did place two strips of "moleskin" (Bulldog's suggestion) at the ID of the pfoot and it works perfectly and it can't be seen while at work. I have no intention of returning it since I prefer it over the oe foot. Call me a pimp.

For the record, on my first build (Steffen 8 ft 3/4 wt) I used a Lemke all metal reel seat. There are no issues with the pfoot / Lemke seat. Fits fine in spite of the very thin feature. More thread wraps were subsequently added at the end of the tip section, after the photo.

Sorry for the not so great photos but I wanted to add these to this thread tonight. I just finally got around to finishing this project. Earlier in the thread there was discussion of the reel foot thickness but also be mindful that on the Young's feet, you'll need to file down the length of the screws. The feet are designed so the screw head is counter sunk very low so you'll need to take off a little bit of each length. It's simple enough with a simple four in one file and then a smaller jewelers file. I followed that with 250 grit paper. Most importantly, as you've heard Ron mention before, you really do need a pair of nylon pliers to secure the screw when filing it down. You can find them at most hobby shops or Michaels stores. I know some of this was covered in another thread but it made sense to have it here as well. Anyways, I've had this reel languishing for a while and I'm happy to finally get my act together and put that Pfoot to use. One last thing, I darkened the brass foot as the new polished brass finish just seemed not quite right. A little of the original Palmolive does the trick.

look like pretty great photos to me

You would have a hard job to take a bad photo of such a good reel.

Thanks guys. I've read that it has sulphur derivatives in it that are very similar to what is found in some of the commercial darkening products - but much more user friendly. Just rub it a little bit of it with a very tiny amount of water. You'll start to see a change in a few minutes. Not all of them have the same formula so look for the original green Palmolive. You know, like Madge. ...and it'll soften your hands.

Ha! this'll show my age

and to be specific, it was made for Hunter and Son of Belfast. I think I need to add this to the "Young by any other name" thread.

Since no one else put them here, Bob Selb has his own line that includes Young foot.

After trying to obtain a couple feet for almost a year with no luck, I contacted these folks, got prompt answers to my questions, and received a couple feet and drag plates within a week. The feet look great, installed easily, and fit my cap ring seats.
Thanx for posting the link.
