I'm doing a resto-mod for a customer on an old surf rod that has heavily oxidized chrome w/ceramic and red insulator guides. The stripper is one of the flip down type that seem to be almost impossible to find. I seem to be able to find replacements for the running guides but the flip down is more difficult.
I was wondering:
Does anyone have one of those in 40/50 they want to sell?
Or - has anyone had any luck removing/reinstalling the insulation and ring? (have a plating shop around the corner from mine)

I have an old original Fuji aluminum oxide fold down size 50 surf guide. You can have it if you want it. Only problem is that the frame is black stainless and the shock ring is green fluorescent. It is in very good (almost new) condition. These were quite common 30+ years ago. If interested send me an E-mail and I can send you a picture of it. I will have to check, but I think I may have some old non-folding dbl ft fuji guides that match it. Hope this helps.

Genuinely appreciate the offer Norman but I'm really after the chrome / red / white on this one.
Thank you though...

I think I still have a 50, but I know it's used . I'll check tomorrow and let you know.

Matt-
I do have a folding,chrome frame, white alox ring in red plastic retainer, size 50 guide. As I said, it's used; it came off an old 12' Zebco 3 pc surf rod. Good working condition, very slight salt rash, small scratches. Unknown maker but almost definitely not Fuji. Send me an e-mail for a pic.

Mark,

That's exactly the rod I'm re-building! Definitely Interested. Dont even really need a pic, I'm sure its in better shape than the one I have....
