ALUMINIUM REEL SEATS

[kevin cozens]

I am currently rebuilding a pair of conoflex 80lb class boat rods.
At present i have managed to remove the old chromed brass seats.
I am now in need of a pair of new seats.
I want the stronger aluminium type with ferrule but i need them in 26mm.
I dont want mega expensive seats. a basi alps or pacbay seet will do the job just fine.
Does anyone have any ideas when i can get a pair? preferably from a UK or european supplier.
here is a pic of the old seats

All these folks are in the UK:

as are:

If they don't have what you need in stock, I think they'll get it for you.

I obtained a curved butt for a monster-tamer I'm building from these folks, who were very helpful:

Good luck with the build - I once made up a set of rods on Conoflex blanks but they've never been used! Best put them on the auction site one day I guess.
