I know it's been forever since you posted this but I just got an Inspira frame for FREE and the only problem is that it is missing one rod and one end cap. So it looks like you have a solution in just getting either a dowel or a PVC pipe and my husband is pretty handy so I'm sure I can do that. BUT - you said you never use the batting bar. So do I understand correctly that you put the bottom fabric and the top fabric each on their own roller and then just feed the batting in (assuming the full sandwich would be pinned to the leader on the takeup roller?

If you did want to replace it, you could get a large diameter wooden dowel, or even PVC pipe from the hardware store. If you don't have the end caps anymore, use a screw in the end of the dowel. For PVC pipe, I'd get a piece of wood, or a large cork to plug the ends and put a screw into that. If you could find a bolt that had a screw on one end and a bolt on the other, that would be ideal. (like the kind that come with the ceiling light fixture hooks)
