Product Description
DAM Quick 100-465 Side Plate (Left)
Restore the Full Enclosure of Your Vintage Finessa Series
Complete the structural restoration of your classic spinning reel with the DAM Quick 100-465 Side Plate (Left). This specific housing component is the "Left Case Cover" for the iconic DAM Quick 280 and 285 series. Unlike many reels that feature a single side plate, the Finessa series utilizes a unique frame construction with covers on both sides. This part is essential for enclosing the left side of the gear box, protecting the internal drive train from saltwater, sand, and impact.
On vintage reels, side plates are frequently lost, dented, or suffer from "boat rash" and corrosion. A missing or damaged left cover exposes the main gear and bearings to the elements, leading to rapid mechanical failure. Installing this genuine-specification replacement ensures your reel maintains its original water-resistant seal and classic German aesthetic.
