Boat rod tip top

I'm rebuilding a solid glass rod and need a black tip top with an 18 tube and a ring between 24 to 30. Anyone know where such a thing can be found?

The ring is a 24 to 30? That may be very tough to find.

You could wrap on a single foot V spinning size 25 guide with the Forhan locking wrap as the tip top.

Okay, I'll bite. Why would you possibly need a tip top with a 24-30 ring size? I'm truly curious.

The Rod Room shows an Amtak BRGT in 16/28.

Russ, I am refurbishing an old rod for a customer. He wants new parts as close to the old ones as possible. That is what is on there now. I may have to clean up the old guide and have it chrome plated if I can't find a replacement. The 18/7.2mm tube is essential. I think I can convince him to go with a bigger ring size if I can find one.
