Question Wooden Dowel Rods

Does anyone have or know where I can get a set of those wooden dowel rods you use when pulling the Cam out?I know they are easy to make,but I don't want to mess it up either way..I need them pretty quick..gotta tear off the old timing case housing after KDP damage.

If you're looking for premade forget it, they are a custom item.
Very easy to make though.

Gotta make your own, sorry. Unless someone has a set they will lend you. If I had a set they would be in your hands by now.
