Spare eyes or ceramic ring?

Hi guys on my last trip to the wye I managed to fold my korum neotric 1.75lb top. Despite it being old its only been used a couple of times. Anyway no come back as expected from them.
I was forced to use the quiver tip top and found that an eye ceramic was missing from the 6 oz tip. Best to replace the eye or can you get ceramic inserts? Can't upload picture! Its about 4.5mm thanks Jon
 
I would replace the entire eye. Never heard of being able to just replace the ceramic. When this has happened to me it was because the ceramic had cracked. I got some quiver eyes from Ebay. No link as it was ages ago.
 
Hasn't happened to me for many years but I do recall twice having to replace the ceramic. It was very straightforward, just snapped into place and never had any problems again - still using the rods in fact.
 
Thanks gents I think I'll go for an eye (Not looked yet) ultimately its a manufacturing issue as never been used.
