I bought an extra coil for my Vaquero and wanted to mount it on it's own lower rod. When I started looking for a tesoro rod I discovered they're getting harder to find. So I thought any manufacture's lower rod would do and bought one for a Garrett (was the cheapest I could find). Much to my surprise the Garrett rod is slightly larger in diameter and wouldn't slide into the Tesoro middle rod. So, is there another brand I should look for that is compatible with Tesoro, or do I just reduce the diameter of the Garrett rod to make it fit?

You could sand it down.
I've done that on a few shafts.
Carefully remove the clip.
Wrap sandpaper around it. Say 80 grit.
Twist and sand.
Usually didn't take much.

Fisher/Teknetics lower rods fit but a new hole must be drilled for the plunger. The fisher rods only have one plunger for the bottom side of the middle rod, whereas the Tesoro uses a double plunger on the side of the middle rod. The coil bolt hole and spacing for the coil ears are the same.
