Rod conversion!!

[cormyb]

Looking for a bit of advice. I got an 2nd hand century Kompressor of a buddy on the cheap and I'm looking to change the rings for a fixed spool reel. I'm looking to order some fuji k guides but am not sure of the sizes and amount I will need.
I have read some advice from some sites but seem to be getting alot of conflicting opions.
Does anybody have experience of this type of conversion.
Also was looking to get a tip eye with night light seat that I saw on uk-hooks. What size tip ring is best??
Any advice would be welcome. Have 10 days left on a prision ship in the north sea before I'm home so looking to order before I get back!!
Cheers

Normally 8 guides you will need for fixed spool if was me id use something like kguides as they stick out from the blank a bit more than your average guides better for fixed spool

Looking to do it myself. Will be home for 7 weeks so need something to keep me busy.
Any idea what sizes I should be using?

Is there anywhere round Cork that sells them ,would prefer to give my money to someone local than buying off the web??

The guide sizes you will need are 40 30 25 20 16 12 12 and a 12 tip with 4 mm bore you will have to get your guides on line from a proper rod building supplyer.
