Thanks guys. I had a watch on the ebay one already, but I'll give Lindsay a call. The one on craigslist is a little out of my price range. I need a good handle, clicker spring and the little left hand retaining screw in the center of the drag nut.

Try calling Mike Flynn @ Custom Rod Crafters, he is in Fairwinds. Might have some of the parts you are looking for.

(edit)
Another fellow that has tracked down a "hard to find part" for me was

The drag screw on my Longstone stripped. I wrote a schmoozy e-mail to Hardy telling them how much I loved my reel. They sent me the screw for free. [8D] One of the local shops in Vic was asking 35 bucks for one.

The Longstone handles suck too, if you don't mind the thing not being totally stock, get a set of the handles that go on Islander's put on it. They're less slippery in wet weather. Island Outfitters used to do this work a few years ago, not sure about now.
