Only the plastic 704 plate is available thru scotts which will fit the 706. |

I wouldn't worry about it. The plate bears no load--all it does is cover the gearbox, and the aluminum one doesn't fit any tighter than the plastic one.
I have never heard of anyone having an issue with the plastic side plate on a Z-series Spinfisher, and they've been standard issue on the reels for at least the last 20 years.
If you're really worried about it--buy a beater greenie 704 and paint the plate black  |

I've had good results using grease to bed the cover. Nothing to build up or remove. I suppose if you dove a few feet under there might be enough pressure to force water thru there. I always use my rod as a wading staff and have never opened one of my 704s and found it full of water, a few drops maybe. They are the easiest reel to open up, inspect and relube.
