Thanks Dennis, I've found a source of what are described as 1/8" styrene
(sic) rods, which I'll try.
I think they will be polystyrene rather than styrene though!

Hi David,
If you want I can purchase something like what you are looking for. Hobby
shops in my area sell carbon fiber rods and they are not very expensive.
Alternatively I can give you what I have salvaged from parts mules if you
let me know the length you want. These would be genuine Tek rods.
I would be happy to mail you some. They are so light I doubt postage would
be much.

Subject: [TekScopes] Source for 1/8" fibreglass or other hard plastic
rod in UK
I'm looking for a UK source of 1/8" (0.125" or 3.2mm) diameter
fibreglass rods (or other hard plastic) such as is used in many 7000
series plugins.
For the specific application (the rod down the middle of plastic
expansion
rivet) a 3mm rod won't do.
I only want a small quantity, so any suppliers with large minimum
orders would be a problem.
Thanks
David
