Tani Sleeve Generation Notes
There were 2 generations of the Alan Tani SS sleeves.
ORIGINAL - Cut to the same design as the Penn sleeves, uses standard #4 washer under the gear.
2nd Gen - This is cut all the way down to the ratchet on each side, allowing for the use of the Bryan Young custom washer sets.
Set to match this 2nd Gen sleeve: 4-500SPBY (Washer set cannot be used with any other custom SS sleeve)
