Easiest = hardware store, and ask for all thread of the appropiate size (1/4?) uss. Cut to length.

Be carefull in installing a longer ("2,1/2" [inches, I assume]) rod. Most '50s-'60s cars have very little clearance above the air cleaner.

Most any real fastner place will have it and you can even get it hardened if you want.
