Default yeah, join the club.
There was someone a little while back that tried to jerry-rig some from parts picked off a scrapped car, but I don't think they fit correctly.

Default I would try a hobby shop
There is one in my neck of the woods that is HUGE for RC cars....they might be able to make something up for you.

Default Temp Fix: Try heavy gage wire and bend it into place.
I have a coat hanger in place. Its been there for 2 months now. I would be interested in obtaining a couple if someone decides to make them.
