I used UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) to make mine after having a little search on here for alternative materials then searching for each of their properties on google. Cant remember any exact websites but there were a fair few and they all said it was good for bushes, and a lot of the same words were used to describe the properties of the two.
Oh and the rod only cost (my boss!) about £18 and I've got loads left over (may be good for pedal box later but again ill have a look about then too)
(quick disclaimer:I can't recommend any material as I am not a polymer expert in any way and i only did a few nights of research on this, just finally able to share something!)
