Id have one but mine is 18mm
Stusco as you are in the UK Rapid Metals can supply 18mm 303 stainless (the length you need is £11.40 + VAT and postage so probably around £20 all in) you may need to get it shaved if your bushings are slightly under 18mm

If still available, I'll take one. Switch to private messages and we can set up payment.
PM sent...

Until further notice, one 17mm rod is available.

Did you buy from Rapid or somebody else ? I will need a 17mm but that seems harder to source (most suppliers seem to do 16mm & 18mm but no 17mm :()

I was able to buy a 17mm drill stock rod off amazon I think but It did have to be precision ground to 16.998 or so.

Just bought one in France, 18mm x 400mm 303 Stainless 23€, The delvery was 10 of that!
The spec is H9 which is what Nessism posted. +0/-0.043mm
The H6 spec that has also been posted has a much tighter tolerance +0/-0.016 and coupled with the 1mm straightness over a metre might mean the H6 bar needs fettling.
Looking forward to checking the 2 GPz11 cranks I have
