As far as making a cup, as you call them, I would have to see what they look like up close. I am not sure how the bail thing would be machined in. I would like to see how these manual bail things work too. I have an idea but am unfamilar with them. I think a member is going to come over tonite to give me one to modify and then I can see what they look like in person. As far as the side plate I will look at that too. Couldn't you just make a gasket out of thin neoprene rubber and squish it between the cover and the body. Draw file the body and cover flat and x-acto knife the gasket and tighten down. The only problem is you file off the anodizing and then you will get corrosion. Also wouldn't h2o get in thru the %$%$%$%$ing where the shaft goes in and out and into the gearcase. O rings could be incorporated into it. Not having one of these reels I am just speculating on these things. I will make an effort to get a hold of one of these reels in the near future so I will not be talking out my as.. Paul
