Actually, if you want a left hand wind on a 1492 it can be done. I've done it on a couple but it was years ago. Unlike the video I took the line guard off, moved one of the other spacers to one of the spots, put the line guide into the open spot on the other side of reel, then drilled a small hole and countersink for other spacer for line guide. Was it a lot of work? Sure, but I wanted it as a LHW and made it that way. Had it for years, finally sold it and wish I hadn't.
