1.5mm s/steel round bar

Im looking for a supplier of ground, 1.5mm stainless steel or silver steel, round rod, in uk.
I only want about a foot or so.
It has to go through two bearings, so it has to be precision ground.
I want to make a main shaft for a micro helicopter.
Looked on internet, but cant find anything this small diameter.

Cheers

Derek.

Thanks Andy, hope you can help.
Dont forget it has to be spot on 1.5mm to go through the bearings, or it wont do.
Cheers.

I did a quick web search for 1.5mm silver steel and it threw up quite a few.

Here are three of the first

STANDARD SILVER STEEL
Silver Steel
Cromwell Industrial Tools UK: 1.5mm DIA. x 13" SILVER STEEL : CTL-432-5297M
