Large ID Cork?

I have been asked to build a rod using cork grips. Normally not a problem, but the rod I will be using will probably be a Pac Bay JS80M-B, an 8' medium power blank. It's butt diameter is 0.95. Does anyone make butt grips and fore grips to accomodate this large diameter? Or are there cork rings available in that ID? Or am I looking at a rod that is getting eva?
thanks, nick

We have 1.25" dia. rings with a 0.75" , 0.625", 0.375" and 0.25" bore and 1.5" dia. rings with a 1.0", 0.75" , 0.625", 0.375" and 0.25" bore.
Sorry we don't have pre-made grips with the bore dia. you require. EVA or Hyphalon are certainly options. You can get EVA in a wide range of colour options from Mudhole.
