Default Primary Metering Rods

Hello, I recently disassembled my carburetor for my 1978 corvette with l48 engine. I accidentally chipped the tip off of one of the primary metering rods. Does anyone have a suggestion for any replacement rods. The carburetor is 17058504 3087 BJI.

I bought a set of these last year, which are the correct ones for my 1978 L48 auto. Looks like they still have some.
