34 mm reel seats needed.

Aloha,
Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some 34 mm reel seats? I have the Fuji plate style reel seats I was considering using, but would like to see if there are any larger traditional reel seats before I continue these builds.
They are sabers from the 80's
I have a 32mm seat I tried and I'd have to ream out the inside a bit to make it fit, but then there's o room for the adhesive.
I was hoping for something with the inlaid wood, but can't find anything and at this point, I won't be too picky...
Thanks for any help!
Aoha,
Scott
And if anyone has any suggestions on a better reel seat for these older ulua/surf rods, please chime in.

If you are going Conv reel you can search for Coasters to hold your reel

If there's no 34 mm reel seats, what's the biggest plate style reel seat and from who?

Hi Scott,

Merrick Tackle should have 34 mm reel seat available from Benchmark.

The largest coasters are about 33mm and I do not believe they would be adequate to support a 4/0 or 6/0 reel.
