Rostock Build

Hello,

I am about half way through with a Rostock build. I am having a problem locating a source for the 30" 762mmx8mm rods as the vxb site is out of stock and will not have more for another 30days or so. I got their last 4 rails, but need two more.

I have looked but cannot seem to find another source for these rails.

Does anyone have a couple they don't need and want to sell, or do you know of another supplier?

Thanks much!

I'll post my project when complete.

These are the first two places that come to mind.

[www.vxb.com]

or

[www.mcmaster.com]

McMaster Carr also has metric fasteners. Much cheaper to buy bulk than onseys at your local box store.
Some people use 8mm drill rods. I think drill rods are hit or miss as to straigntness as no tolerence is usually listed.

Best of luck, have fun.
