[Avail] 4-Point Brake UC for ABU Ambassadeur 4000-6000 Series ULTRACAST (#19372 Replacement Part) [4p_brake_uc]

| Features

The 2-point brake (centrifugal brake) used in the ULTRACAST Design Spool can be converted to a 4-point brake.
It is especially recommended for those who experience backlash due to insufficient braking power from the genuine brake alone.
It is compatible with part #19372, so it is used as a replacement for that part.
Only ABU genuine brake blocks - #20208 (Black: Heavy)/#20209 (Blue: Light)/#20211 (White: Medium) - are compatible. Please obtain genuine blocks, or use the spare brake blocks supplied with your reel.

[Note]
Reels equipped with the 6-point brake (#1116726), and reels equipped with the bakelite 2-point brake (#1366399) used on recent ULTRACAST models, are not compatible, as the pinion gear shape is different. Please check the part number on the exploded diagram included with your reel before ordering.



Brake blocks can be mounted in four locations.
In addition, the brake block is shaped to prevent it from falling off, just like the genuine one.



This is the genuine part that can be replaced.
(Part #19372)


| Installation Method

The ABU Ambassadeur 4500C is used for this explanation, but the installation method is exactly the same for the 5000 and 6000 series.
The spool shown is an Avail Microcast Spool 4500, but the same procedure applies when using a genuine spool.



1. Disassemble the reel and remove the spool.




2. Remove the wire C-ring and take off the brake unit.
The bearing will come loose, so be careful not to lose it.




3. Replace the brake unit with the 4-point unit.
Only ABU genuine brake blocks - #20208 (Black: Heavy)/#20209 (Blue: Light)/#20211 (White: Medium) - are compatible. Please obtain genuine blocks, or use the spare brake blocks supplied with your reel.




4. There are no particular difficulties. Simply reassemble it into the reel.

When assembling, brake blocks that protrude will not fit inside the frame, so push them inward.
The number of brake blocks can be adjusted from 0 to 4, so increase or decrease as needed.
Also compatible with Avail Magnetic Brake Microcast Brake CR2 (CL2).
