Tom,

Do you have a welding supply store nearby? If so, they sell 1/8" diameter by 36" long stainless welding rod. I usually buy 308 series alloy, if I remember correctly and it's fairly inexpensive. The brand I bought had the series stamped on a flat on each end. Those flats are handy for drilling a hole for raise hooks to use for pull rods.
Best regards,
Lynn Stafford

Also contact Kelcey O'Neil at Emmons Guitar company - they are making Push Pulls again, and may have parts available. If not, they'll certainly know where to get the right ones!
