I'm repairing a 1998 MIM Deluxe Jazz Bass V and have a question about the black plastic material that lines the truss rod cavity at the head of the neck. The truss rod nut was blown apart and I had to cut the black plastic liner in order to remove the old nut. (The wrong sized nut was installed and forced until it split.). Fortunately, the rod was not stripped and I have inserted the correct nut and everything is good to go ... except the cosmetics.

Does anyone know what to use to replace the liner? I have included a picture of my bass and another one with the liner intact to help explain. Thanks in advance. William

Note: I can't get the pictures to show up. The addresses are:

Yes. That's it. (I edited my original post and added links to the pictures).

All Fender could tell me was: "That piece would have been rigid PVC about 2.45" long, .328" inner diameter, .415" outer diameter. Unfortunately, we do not have these pieces available."
