Take a look at this website .... http://www.mudhole.com

The rod-building 101 section (its an American site) has some interesting media player clips.

Part two should assist.

Best of luck with the re-furb : let us know how you get on.

Theres no need to use epoxy on the grips, if they are a tight fit. Apply washing up liquid and use this as a lubricant to slide it down the blank. Washing up liquid will act as an adhesive once it had dried.
