Default handle , butt and reel seat repair on sage rod anyone ?

hi there again

need some one to repair the handle and reel seat on sage graphite II 10 foot 2 piece

basically the reel seat is spinning on the blank and has ripped the cork at the bottom typical sage handle i suppose as ive heard bad things lol

what i want is :

new full wells handle fitted with quality cork aaa etc
new reel seat fitted
new fighting butt

i will obviously pay for this to be done im not expecting free help lol

the threads seem to be just jet black so matching the threads shouldnt be too hard but there are 3 rings on the bottom section , 4 including the hook holder

the blank continues right through the fighting butt to around 1cm from the tip of the fighting butt so i believe obviously the butt would not be a screw on type


anyone who could do this etc would be greatly appreciated and advise on where to pick up the parts would be great to as i believe they are of different sizes depending on blank sizes etc

ended up having it repaired at country life seems the cork was saveable as the tear was only about 3mm long and was just the reels seat lol have it up for sale now which is a shame , the repair has left a small mark but was worth it .

the rod isnt as fast actioned as i would have liked so really its no good to me , no doubt countless people on here have bought a rod just for the name but it doesnt suit them lol
