66 442 trunk lid tension rods

Looking for replacement trunk tension bars for my 66 442.. I’ve received a pair of bars from 2 vendors and both are smaller in diameter than the original. They lack adequate resistance to keep the lid up. Anyone know where to find bars with larger diameter?
thanks.

There's a 65 being parted out, so maybe you can get the tension rods from that car?
