Any local alarm company can order these for you. Or try going to a
local ADI. They may be able to sell them to you.

Go to your local glass shop and ask to purchase rods (most will stock
ones with varying diameters so it's a good idea to take a sample with
you). You can cut them to the right lenght with a set of wire
strippers. This beats paying the exhorbitant price for pre-cut rods you
get from the manufacturer.

Just be carefull about the glass ones- In some jurisdictions the glass
rods are unacceptable- not ADA compliant- the pre-scored plastics are
then the way to go.

I've also seen what appeared to be hollow, paper tubes instead of
glass rods in a few places. I don't know if they're still
available but they predated the plastic ones.
