Then make a bit of an educated guess of the wall thickness of the blank. The piece to be fitted inside the rod needs to be sanded to get rid of all the "finish coatings" and give the epoxy something to bind to. If you can put up those measurements and I have something to match, happy to send it to you so you can get your rod back working.

All good thanks mate, Shearer offered the same but I have a plan
