Quiver tip rebuilds?

Hi all,
Does anyone know of anyone who either makes custom quivertips or would customise some Drennan ones?
I like the slow taper Drennan but I have to sand them down a bit to fit in my rod and find the eyes much too small on them. I'd also like them painted white.
Thanks in advance,
Rob.
 
I have fitted fox quivers to one of my Harrisons, they have much bigger eyes than Drennans. I am meeting John Everard this week at his house and i know he has modified some of his Drennan quivers with larger eyes. Will post info later this week.
 
If you can get hold of the Drennan DRX river tips the eyes are larger than the normal Drennan spares ones. You would still need to paint and sand them though.
 
Rob,
Painting is no problem. I use plasticote mat white. Wash the section you want to spray and dry, mask round the rings and the section below where you want to paint.
With plasticote you need no sanding, or primer and it dries really quickly. Shake can for a couple of minutes then spray lightly. Leave half an hour then spray again. Leave an hour and remove masking tape.
You are now ready to fish and the finish is smart and very durable.
