Tip replacement help needed

My Chevy Blazer is about an inch to short for my Saltheart custom Allstar 1265 2pc to fit in without breaking it down. But I usually don't around town, and I am now paying the price. The ceramic cracked and half fell out during a retrieve resulting in a well launched Lonely Angler plug being set free into the North Atlantic.....

I heated the tip and removed it. Now I can only find all metal replacements locally! Seems to have been a run on the rod tip stocks,,,So my question is,
1. Do I just put on the metal tip for the rest of the year?
2. If so, do I epoxy it on?
3. If I epoxy it on, will that lead to problems when I want to put on a SIC Fuji over the winter?

I hope Saltheart chimes in. I already did a search for the answer, which led me to another; should I remove the nice wrap that sits/sat just below the old tip?

I'm an idiot when it comes to this rod repair stuff apparently, but don't want to mess up the rod tip.

Thanx
