Eyelet replacement

Does anybody have any ideas where to go to get eyelets replaced? I have some very old rods missing eyelets that I don't want to give up on yet, but everywhere I've called or gone only does Rod tips. I'm also not looking to spend an arm and a leg was thinking about trying to learn to do it myself.

Daryl Snodgrass says he isn't doing rod repair or building at this time, says Dan Caffery may be getting into this.

Let's have a look at the rod and we can go from there. I'm building two rods right now... Guide repair isn't terribly difficult.

One, two, three... doesn't matter. I have the goods to do it, you just need to get the right guides for it. Do you have a source locally? If not, you can try www.mudhole.com ... yes, sounds like a porn site but it isn't Smiley I have a micrometer to measure the guides if you don't have one. Let me know if you want to have a look at it sooner.

Here is one of my rods in progress. One of my practice wraps just messing around with patterns.
