They are NLA from Ford. They are also slightly tapered on the outside diameter where they go through the chassis so as to fit inside the box-section correctly.

You can technically just use a piece of straight hollow bar, but I have not done it this way myself.

Machining a pair up is not a problem for me taper or no taper. Could do with one to copy so I may have to take one off my car. Give me a day and I will see what I can do.
