I considered doing that, but the rods are not very thick, and I'm concerned that the rods will break off when I try to bend them. The rods are too long, so the first thing I would need to do is straighten them, then cut them to length, then try to re-bend them in the correct direction without breaking them. I might have to try that, but figured I would try to see if I could just buy the correct ones first. I also considered cutting the rods in the center, and cutting out a section so they're the right length, then tac welding them back together facing in the correct direction. I don't know if that would damage the vacuum pod though.
