Product Description
DAM Quick 100-388 Handle Cap (Dust Cap)
Protect Your Microlite Reel’s Internals with a Perfect Seal
Complete the aesthetic and mechanical restoration of your vintage ultra-light reel with the DAM Quick 100-388 Handle Cap. This specialized threaded component (often referred to as the Dust Cap or Handle Screw Cap) is designed to seal the side plate opening on the DAM Quick 265. Positioned opposite the handle or serving as the securing point for the handle shaft, it plays a crucial role in preventing water, sand, and grit from entering the main gear housing.
On vintage reels, these caps are frequently lost during field repairs or marred by improper tool use. A missing cap leaves your delicate internal gearing and lubrication exposed to the elements, leading to accelerated wear and corrosion. Installing this genuine-specification replacement ensures your Quick 265 remains watertight and retains the sleek, finished look of a collector-grade instrument.
