Product Description
Hardy 1332864 P-Regulator Block - Featherweight, LRH, Princess, St. Aidan
Product Description
Restore the precise drag tension of your classic fly reel with the Hardy 1332864 P-Regulator Block. This genuine replacement component is the critical internal housing for the rim-mounted check mechanism found in later production "Lightweight" series reels.
Manufactured from high-grade, durable synthetic nylon (Nylatron), this "P-Block" (Plastic Regulator Block) acts as the anchor for the regulator screw and cam. It is designed to glide smoothly against the reel frame, transferring the external button's adjustment into consistent spring tension. Over time, original blocks can crack or wear from years of drag adjustment; installing this factory-specification part ensures your reel's "click" remains crisp and your drag settings hold firm.
Compatibility
This part is compatible with the following Hardy "Lightweight" series models (specifically those equipped with the plastic regulator block mechanism):
-
Hardy Featherweight
-
Hardy LRH Lightweight
-
Hardy Princess
-
Hardy St. Aidan
Note: This part is distinct from the metal check mechanisms found in pre-1970s vintage models. Please verify your reel uses the synthetic regulator block before ordering.

Maintenance Recommendation
To ensure the regulator block slides freely and the internal threading lasts, we recommend using Deuthlon lubrication products. A light application of their ceramic-based Reel Grease on the block's sliding surfaces and internal threads will prevent binding and protect against wear in aquatic environments.
