hello ,here are some explanations...

Alain,
Thank you very much for the explanation of your very clever
replacements!
Do you think that adding some glass fibers (as is done with polyester
and epoxy composite materials) would improve the mechanical strength
of your replacement?
For small metal rods, I maintain a stock of stainless steel bicycle
wheel spokes in various sizes here. They can often be gotten used
from the local bicycle repair shop for next to nothing.
I can't
begin to tell you how many things here have been repaired with one of
these... :)
Best regards,
Chuck
