G Loomis tip top replacement

Does anyone know of what tip top and ring material were used on a G Loomis SBR812.
The ring was forced out in a rod locker and he'd like a match if possible.
The remaining guides are black or gunsmoke with black insert rings.

Thanks,
Gene

Eugene,
Whenever I have an issue like that with a high end rod, I always use a Fuji silicon carbide tip top.

Fuji is the standard for G Loomis - usually Alconite or SiC rings. Since you mentioned a black ring, that would indicate Alconite.

Thanks Jim,
Shimano was the first place I tried prior to posting here.
They just got back and confirmed exactly what you suggested.
Fuji BFAT 6 - 5
