Default Front Splitter Support Rods

Does anyone know where I can pick up a pair of front splitter support rods for fairly cheap?

I've browsed around online and so far I've only found two vendors that carry the support rods (evasive and some other company), but they sell for 40-45$ a set! This seems pretty expensive for two threaded stainless rods...

If anyone could help that'd be great. Perhaps something in the 25-30$ price range would be nice, but if not I'll just pick up the 40-45$ rods.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot ^ ! Still around $45 for a pair, but the CNC aluminum seems a lot better than the stainless. Any others?

[Edit] Thanks for the help, on second thought after shopping around, everything seems to be in the $45-50 price range so I'll just drop the money on what looks best suited to my application.

Thanks again!

There is some marine stuff that is basically the same sort of thing, but it is even more expensive than the racer versions.

If you built your splitter and mounting brackets properly, there should be no need for support rods...

Yup, mine probably aren't built well and even mine don't need the supports. If my splitter extended much further out, then mine are probably weak enough that it would need some support.

How about using turnbuckles from HomeDepot and such.
