Shimano SLX DC 150 - Had the left side cover plate just fall off my reel, of course directly into the lake. Can anyone tell me the formal name (or part #) of this part or assembly and best place to order replacement? Also can you tell from the pictures if there is more missing other than the cover plate? Any help appreciated.

Try here.

Take it to a reel repair shot. They will be able to get you the OEM part number

Maybe Mike's Reel Repair. They normally stock a lot of Shimano parts.

Your braking system and bearing, etc are in that side plate. Here's the schematic:

Try Dad's Ole Tackle in Conroe.

BNT 6814 is the part # for the left side plate. You might search around on the interwebs for it.

Yea - found what is missing and it looks like the cost of replacement parts is more than cost of new reel…….

I'd still give Dad's a call. He might be able to find a left side plate assembly for less than replacement. If not, give me dibs on what's left of the reel. I fish the same reel, and could use it for parts if the price is right.

Got it - will keep you posted.

Thanks
