I went to Lowes, Home Depot, Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Auto Zone and a few local Hardware stores and NO ONE HAS METRIC RODS OR SCREWS LONG ENOUGH TO CUT!!!

So I searched online for a while and found a site Fastener Mart I found a 1 meter rod for just under 7 bucks and I never clicked add to cart faster Amazon also has 1 meter rods but they are 20 bucks there.... boooo
