Is it the tip ring?  I think Bill Bain & Somers in Aberdeen carry spare rings, fit it on with epoxy or, PM Rob, he may have something lying around.

I left a whole heap of tips with Mike and some hot melt glue.
There are a few sizes so ask him nicely and you may find one that fits. if you use hot melt glue it will stay on but allow you a bit of freedom whilst fitting
and be easy to replace again (if necessary) it also cures in seconds so you can fish again almost straight away :z16
