Ultra light sliding ring skeleton reel seat

I am building a 2wt fly rod and need an ultra light sliding ring skeleton reel seat. So far I have not had any luck. All I have found is the complete handle with ring already on it. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Spencer,
Thank you. But the page I found only has complete reel seats, I want the components to make my seat. I have some ideas I want to try on this rod and I would like to turn my reel seat as one of those ideas.
Thanks.
