Product Description
DAM Quick 100-440 Side Plate Cover
Restore the Integrity and Aesthetics of Your Vintage Reel
Protect the precision gearing of your classic spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-440 Side Plate Cover (also known as the Housing Cover or Gear Box Lid). This structural component is essential for sealing the main body of the DAM Quick 220. It acts as the shield against the elements, preventing sand, dirt, and water from infiltrating the delicate internal drive train.
On vintage reels, the side plate is often the part that takes the brunt of the abuse. It can suffer from "boat rash," cracked screw holes, or corrosion from years of exposure. Additionally, a warped or damaged cover can fail to seal properly, leading to gear misalignment or lubrication leaks. Installing this genuine-specification replacement restores the clean lines and rugged protection that defined the "Standard" series of West German engineering.

Technical Specifications & Schematics

Installation Tip: When installing the cover, tighten the screws in a "star" or cross pattern to ensure even pressure. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads in the main housing. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and lightly greased before assembly.
