Default Oliver Rods

This is a long shot... I am in need of two Oliver 6.385 connecting rods in this weight range to make a complete set for my 540 rebuild. Long/short - I spun a main and trashed two of the eight rods and before I order a new set thought I would throw this out there. I have searched high and low to no avail and Oliver no longer has anything in this weight range. Thanks!

did you call Oliver Rods? I'm sure they can get you close enough that a true balance shop can finish them...
