20 mm skeletons

Can anyone tell me one of the sponsors who carry 20 mm reel skeletons for wood inserts? I can find 16-18 mm but not the 20 mm. I thought of cutting out the center part of a conventional reel seat and using the two ends. I want it for a rod with a 0.52 inch but section. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed

Ed,
You are right. They are not made as far as I know. In all the rods I have made with a large wooden reel seat custom made, I had to cut a reel seat 20 or 22 or so and that way got what I wanted. The reel seat ended up just fine.

Ed, it is actually cheaper to do it that way than to buy the skeleton seats.
