You can use anything as a replacement for the original. My trailer came with old piece of galvanized pipe that was threaded on one side. I somehow misplaced it and cut off a legnth of an old garage door torsion spring pipe.

Just don't get it too long as you will not have clearance with the ground to use it.
Also learned my lesson not to remove the pipe before securing the bars. Almost broke my hand when it snapped back. Now I hold the pipe with one hand and insert the clip with the other before taking it off.
