[Robotgroup] Source for 12mm steel rods?

[Leslie Filip]

For specialty hardware I go to American Bolt on Burleson:

http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=american 
+bolt&near=Austin, 
+TX&radius=0.0&latlng=30266944,-97742778,12109742723732196407&sa=X&oi=lo 
cal&ct=authority

If that link gets messed up do a Google search for American Bolt  
Austin and it will be first on the list. Rick may know of another  
place; if so, please post that link also.
