Fuji 28mm FPS D28 reel seat

Does anyone have one of these to sell? I am looking for one...
I will certainly listen to suggestions for a similar ID spin seat, for a casting surf rod.
This seat fits my reels, even though it's a huge ID...

that is in question.

I need one!
I am trying for a work-around now, due to these things being harder to find than anticipated!
one problem trying a different one with same ID, is the reel feet might not fit well under the hood. That was a problem w/ a previous 28mm i had on this rod.

The reel feet can also be filed to fit - your not taking half the feet off just filing them to fit the hoods
I see a lot of 26 seats so if your reels are old ones you may and can shap to fit

Bill, it's the other direction, the hood is too big. I suppose i could have taped the feet, but that's not a particularly attractive fix.
I will go with my "work around". That should do OK. Just a little more effort on my part.
Thanks for checking on your seats, Curt.
Take care.
Jim

I would suggest talk to your supplier
Sounds like the seat hoods are too large for the reel
if you can not use a smaller seat then I am sure there is a seat with different hoods that should fit the reel
