This is one of the easiest parts to make and it only takes a long shaft #1 wire drill. Heat the drill to take the temper out of the steel and cut it to length. Fashion the head to match the originals and either tap it into the frame or use JB Weld to secure it in place. Many of those old tip-ups that have lost their ejector rods have an enlarged hole so adhesive is your best bet. They are about 1 1/4" exposed measured at the bottom of the rod have one Model 1 2nd that has a slightly longer rod, so I think that there was some leeway in manufacture.

I have a couple of images that might help.
