Mf35 radiator, rod, tie?

[Ewgoetz]

I pulled off the body on my mf35 today to try to figure out where exactly my engine oil is leaking from and to take car a coolant leak from the upper radiator hose. In the process I found I'm gonna have to replace the radiator after all like I originaly suspected a few months ago, and the radiator support rod was Mia.
Anyone know where I can find a new one? Been searching online for a few hours now with no success. Other option I see is if some one online has the dimensions of the rod and I can custom make it myself.
The rod I'm looking for is number 4 in the pic below. Thanks!



Also another question.....are there any modern spin on diesel filter kits out there that replace the cartridge diesel filters?

The rod from my '55 TO-35 is 5/16 round stock. The bent legs are @ 9 3/8" apart and are drilled .100" for cotter pins. One leg is drilled at 3/8" and the other is longer at 5/8" from the edge of the long part.
