M8-M7 Adapters, a better option

https://www.hedgehog-studio.co.jp/product/9081

I saw these on Hedgehog Studio's website recently, so I threw them into my order to see if they might work....

G Spots handle adapters in brass...

Notice the single-piece construction, as opposed to the YT Fusion adapters...

These did require some filing and sanding with 2k, 1k, and 600 grit wet sand paper, but the end result was worth the effort...

These adapters are a very snug fit, and have ZER0 slop around the drive shaft...

Now, if only Shimano would finally fix the AR Bearing backplay issue....until then, I finally have my reels tuned to the least amount of handle slop possible.
