Default Replacement Cork Handle

Looking to get a cork handle replaced on a rod ( half wells ) , nothing else just the cork . Any ideas on who could do this and a rough price guide would be greatly appreciated .

Thanks

Stephen .

Get somebody local - postage likely fierce - and you may get to pay for a new reelseat depending on which way the job gets done !

Take care

I have stripped down an HM3 10' 7/8 with just the reel seat left on the blank waiting to put a new cork handle on it . Bloke was selling new corks and I have sent him a few PMs but still waiting. Does anybody know where I can get a good quality cork handle for it without breaking the bank. Thanks in advance for any replies
