Question T-top prop rods - Where to buy them???

I'm looking for some T-top prop rods. Is there any online retailer, or sponsor that sells them? I am about to custom make a set, but I was wondering why I can't find any.

The ones I have were made by a member on another board. I have yet to find a place or vendor that sells them.

I wouldn't use those. I have seen them fall at shows, one guys windshield broke from it. Plus IMO when they are up it looks like a gay Batmobile lol.

I made my own from a piece of PVC and painted them black. 6 1/2" for the front 2 and 6" for the back 2. Helluva lot cheaper imo.

I made my own outta 1 length of a certain thickness wooden dowel covered with electrical tape. Less than $4 for the whole thing.

I made mine from 1/4" brass rod from the hardware store & clear plastic caps.
(The brass goes with the black/gold theme, ..., & I made the matching hood/hatch/door props too.)

I made my own tonight, and they aren't going to fall out, collapse, or let go without you trying to get them off. I made them out of mild steel, but I will make them out of aluminum later this week.
