I have my Dad's old set. About 25 years ago I bent the 1"-2" rod, we looked all over and couldn't find one back then. Luckily I was able to straighten the one I had. The rods come in 1" increments 0-1",1"-2", 2"-3" and so forth. Other then small shops that repair and calibrate precision tools it may be a tough find. If it were me I'd make one or modify one that's close before I'd give up.
Good luck.
