Default Zetec steel rods?

Where's the best place to get steel h beam rods for a sliver top? I've damaged one of my pec rods due to bearing failure and cause heat damage. Been looking at Williams ones on eBay but they are out of stock.

Could it be worth a call to pec to see if they would be willing to supply you a single rod?

Robson engineering in a Coventry. They make them for NMS and other companies like Burtons I believe. Cut out the middle man and go straight to source.

Thanks for the replys I've spoken to jano and he said he would try and sort a single rod just need to get back to him. Will try Robsons as well.
Anywhere else anyone can think of I've tried burton but they want 700 just for rods when mine cost 400 and they only failed because of the bearings.
