Default Alconite BMYAG rod eyes wanted

Hi guys, I am building my first ever rod with a helping hand from Stan (Alba rods).
I decided to build a 14 ft Harrison float rod since the grayling season is upon us and i am up to my ears in fly rods just now.

I am only planning on ever building one of these rods so i want to use the ebst gear on the market.

Can i run a few questions past you?

As said i am using a 14ft Harrison GT blank probably in grey or black.
I am planning on customising a gun metal Pac Bay reel seat so i can put a cork reel seat on the rod.
Full cork match handle and fuji Alconite BMYAG rod rings.

The reason i want Alconite BMYAG rod rings is due to the cold weather and i have trouble with small eyes freezing up.

What is the best grade of cork available for a match rod?

Does anyone know who has Alconite BMYAG rod eyes in stock?

Is there better eyes, reel seat, cork etc available?

Any other advice, tips etc are all appreciated.

thanks

Munro
