WeldingRod:
Have you thought about using drill blanks for your pinion wires?

And stupidly it is cheaper to buy the actual drills and use their shanks than buy specific drill blanks  :scratch:

WeldingRod:
If your pinion is small enough that the shank works; I don't know how much you need.

https://www.mcmaster.com/2900a219 will get you a hardened and ground blank.  I don't see anything longer, though.  Sorry!

smiffy:
Drill blanks are available here https://www.drill-service.co.uk/products/drills/drill-blanks/blk-hss-drill-blanks/


Another alternative and useful source of small size quality steel is sewing machine needles
