One of my rods has lost the ceramic from the tip eye, is this a diy repair or does the whole eye need replacing?

Do you know what brand of rings they are, any markings at all? I think on the torrix factory builds they often used kigan rings but with an anti frap tip ring which might be fuji?

If the liner disappeared completely then it is often better to just replace the whole ring.. otherwise a new liner might just pop out again for the same reason that caused it the first time.

You need to replace tip guide .It will be a kigan and an easy fix for yourself heat the tip guide with a lighter and gently twist back and forth replace eye using epoxy.

Can you not just take it off and measure it?
