Top piece section replacement

Broke the tip top area about 3" down on my favorite fly rod. Too far down to do an easy fix. Are there any places out there anymore that do top piece replacement on older fly rods by sending them the butt section?

I had Utmost work with Batson & PacBay to find me a replacement / close match. It took a little over a week but it worked out well.

Steve who made the blank? If you know, you might contact them to see if they have tip sections for the rod. I know Sage and St. Croix are very good about this.
