It must be quite easy to fabricate these from tubing if you have no luck getting the real McCoy.

I've made a few sets. Usually out of tube but the last one was solid round bar with flat bar welded on the ends. I'll see if I can find the drawing.
I think someone on the forum made a mandrel to flatten the tube and give that nice rounded look.
Cheers
