Actually Nomercy I was thinking of getting two 36" rods and cutting 12" off of one. Then I would have lengths of 12", 24" and 36" which I could switch out depending on the length needed and still have enough stiffness without putting 2 lengths into the bore.
I hope I never have to go through this again but it would be good to be prepared.
