Stusco as you are in the UK Rapid Metals can supply 18mm 303 stainless (the length you need is £11.40 + VAT and postage so probably around £20 all in) you may need to get it shaved if your bushings are slightly under 18mm

Did you buy from Rapid or somebody else ? I will need a 17mm but that seems harder to source (most suppliers seem to do 16mm & 18mm but no 17mm :()

I was able to buy a 17mm drill stock rod off amazon I think but It did have to be precision ground to 16.998 or so.

Just bought one in France, 18mm x 400mm 303 Stainless 23€, The delvery was 10 of that!
The spec is H9 which is what Nessism posted. +0/-0.043mm
The H6 spec that has also been posted has a much tighter tolerance +0/-0.016 and coupled with the 1mm straightness over a metre might mean the H6 bar needs fettling.
Looking forward to checking the 2 GPz11 cranks I have
