8 3/4 mini spool

True story.....
I installed a mini spool into a factory cone style sure grip unit over 20 years ago....
I believe I machined 1/8” off of the cones(the side where the spring plate is) and the mini spool fit. I might have machined the cones for the mini spools axle splines to be “located” too... IIRC
Perhaps beer induced but it worked!
