spining reel seat

one of two matching Star boat rods that I've had for many moons has developed a spinning reel seat,,,,,, :-(

I'm thinking cut the cork fore grip off, slide the seat up and back down with new epoxy, fashion a EVA grip to match the removed cork grip, split it on one side, epox it on, cover it with shrink wrap,,,,,,

I think your plan will work Gup.

That cork foregrip is looking tired anyway.

If you don't do this you may be able to drill a couple small holes in the real seat and inject some thin epoxy to re-glue.
