What you are looking for are called cap and ring.
I use the ones by REC and struble.
You can buy just hardware and do your own inserts but you are going to need to mortise them to fit the reel.

I like the REC & Struble a lot, especially the Struble D27. There is no comparison in fit, finish, and styling.

There is a fellow who makes nice standard Cap & Ring seats and sells them on the well-known @#$%& site. Do a search there on "NS Cap & Ring".
I have used quite a few of these and like them a lot for the economy.
