Movable Hood Rings Supplier.

Still working on a centerpin rod for a friend. I think if I could just get the movable hood rings from a reel seat as a separate part, my problems would be solved. I'm not finding a supplier for these. Anybody?

Thank you. That was my first choice. The "graphite" rings that came with the MH Tennessee handle look and feel like cheap plastic. I'm wondering if I can get any metal rings. Otherwise I'd have to get two skeleton kits and canabalize them, which is a bit pricey.

No wonder people use tape! ;-(
Maybe a supplier on here will take pity and offer me up some scraps.
