I buy my Billings Stanchions from Float A Boat in Melbourne.
They are heavy duty brass, slightly oversized, but they can take a knock without bending or breaking.
Not cheap, but I have used them on most of my models.

Hi guys, I'm waiting on some new packs of stanchions which we have had photo etched. They are 2, 3 and 5 bar. I have 5 bar in stock but none of the 2 and 3 bar are in stock. This should be fixed in the coming few weeks. They are similar to the Haynes ones but a little thicker in material. They still take 0.5mm brass rod through the holes. They will go up on our business website when they arrive.
