Small streamlined tube?

Hi,
I was looking over a Pitts Special a while back, and noticed that some wires stiffening the wings were actually very small streamlined tubes no bigger than a half inch long. Well, more like solid metal shaped like two ovals.

I've looked for anything similar to this, but can't find anything.

I'm thinking of using them instead of wires in a pull-pull configuration.

Any ideas?
