maybe you handy people can help me out. trying to find a shutter control rod for plantation blinds. all the shutters are wrecked in my sons room with 90% of the blinds detaching from the frame due to them being old the plastic pegs crumbling form the sun exposure i guess.
I drilled out and replaced all the fittings and put back most of the shutters so far, but the control rod for one of the windows was broken. the rod is flat on one side and a rounded half-circle on the other. I just need one ~50" rod (insert jokes here).
Perusing HD i did not see anything. I could maybe make a piece of molding work and it's cheap at $2. Web searches turned up a few leads, one would not long enough. would have to get 2 shorter ones and i guess dowel them together. cost ~$20. The only ready to go product i saw wanted $90 for a composite plastic piece 70" long.
any ideas on where to source a single piece?
