Winding Check / Carbon Tube help
I’m about to start a BFS build. I’m looking to do something similar to this, with a carbon tube between the 2 pieces of a Fuji SKS seat. Can anyone help me with sourcing these? All the normal sites don’t seem to have the winding checks that are the same diameter (OD) of a carbon tube that’s available.

I use Matagi. While I don't use the SK seats often, I've not had an issue finding what I need there. http://www.matagi.co.jp/english/index.html

After a few months of searching every available source, I was able to put together something close. I actually like how it came out, a little better than the example rod I posted for reference. I used aluminum winding checks designed for a SKS seat, used my Alps wrapper as a makeshift lathe, carved out a groove for the carbon tube to mate to, and got this. Minus the reel seat, all parts came from AliExpress.

Sick build
Not sure if you have looked, but Voodoo rods might be a good place to look for future builds. He's pretty good with sourcing as well.
