You can get plain 1/4" brass rod at the hardware, too. Veral Smith claims cold-rolled steel is too soft to damage a bore when you ram things in and out with it. I would lube it first, just to be sure, but you can get most fractional diameters at Lowe's and many hardware stores. Also, for brass and bronze (bushing stock) shop the machine tool and supply outfits (MSC, Enco, J&L). They are on-line.
