Shimano Aldeberan MGL 51 Decal Kit

[ghost]

I bought a used Shimano Aldeberan MGL 51, 6.5:1 a few weeks ago. It did have a few scratches on the frame and it bothered me.

 

I asked about decals for the Aldeberan MGL 51 and Wanee's was suggested for casting reel decals. I contacted Wanee's and saw they still had the graphite design decal for the Aldeberan MGL 51.

 

Had time today to apply the Wanee's decal this afternoon. Took my time to prep the reel, wiped down with 90% rubbing alcohol and then apply the decals to the correct areas on the reel.

 

The outcome after applying turned out better than I thought. The kit did have a diagram to follow and actual pics of where the decals were to be placed and that helped big time.

 

Instructions mentioned to wait 24 hours to use the reel. So I'll be giving it a few days for the decals to cure and hold onto the surface of the Aldeberan MGL 51.

 

Now the Aldeberan MGL 51 looks great and feels great with the decal installation. Doesn't seem to have added extra weight to the reel, that's good!

 

Also the graphite handle and EVA knobs that I replaced the stock handle, looks perfect and matches the decal kit.

 

Now, if I can find a drag clicker for the Aldeberan MGL 51...

I forgot about these.  The camo on on an Alphas TW looks kinda cool.

Alonerankin2, yes I'll be using the stealthy Aldeberan MGL 51 this coming week.

Assuming the mgl has the same gears as a regular aldebaran, you can get a drag clicker on aliexpress for $11.61 shipped. You might want to take some measurements to be sure, and select "left handed".

Price drops below $10 at the beginning of May, and will probably take 3 weeks or more to arrive.

Do you have a link please?

Wanted to order one of those kits for my zillion, one with the gold engraving look. But kinda expensive considering that they're just stickers.

I went back to look for that kit and it appears that I was looking at a kit for a Met. Sorry about that.

 

I did check several of the shimano kits and it looks like most of them are the same size just advertised for different models. If you check the ID of the recessed area of your main gear it is possible one of the kits labeled met, curado, scorpion ect. will work fine. I'm not much of a shimano guy so I'm not super familiar with their internals.
