Product Description
Shimano 10JZ6 Right Side Plate Bolt (BNT1698) | Calcutta & Cardiff Series
The Shimano 10JZ6 Right Side Plate Bolt (BNT1698) is a vital structural fastener designed to secure the right-side housing to the main frame of high-performance baitcasting reels. This precision-threaded bolt ensures that the side plate remains perfectly aligned, maintaining the tight tolerances required for the main gear, pinion, and clutch mechanisms to function smoothly under load.
Constructed from premium, corrosion-resistant stainless alloy, this bolt is engineered to withstand the repeated torque of maintenance cycles and the harsh vibrations of high-speed retrieves. Whether you are performing a deep-clean service or replacing a lost or stripped fastener, using this genuine Shimano OEM part is essential for the longevity of your reel.

Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendation
Since side plate bolts are frequently exposed to water and salt spray, they can often become seized or "cold-welded" to the frame over time. To prevent this and ensure easy future maintenance, we recommend Deuthlon Lubricants:
-
For Bolt Threads: Apply a light film of Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease to the threads before installation. This creates a waterproof barrier that prevents corrosion and ensures the bolt can be removed easily during your next service.
-
For External Protection: A drop of Deuthlon Power Cast Oil on the head of the screw after installation will help shed water and prevent salt crystallization in the screw drive.
Why Choose Genuine Shimano Parts?
The 10JZ6 (BNT1698) features a specialized thread pitch and head diameter specifically for Shimano's round-profile frames.
-
Structural Stability: Prevents "frame flex" by maintaining a rigid connection between the side plate and frame.
-
Precision Fit: Eliminates the risk of cross-threading that often occurs with generic "hardware store" screws.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Specially treated to resist the "tea-staining" (surface rust) common in cheaper stainless steel alternatives.
