Pole Install

Hey guys looking to get 1 or 2 poles put in my short bus conversion. Posted this before and everyone said to go on Amazon and they are around $100. That is true they have some quality poles on there only problem is I only have 6 ft of room from floor to ceiling and all the poles on Amazon say adjustable from 7 1/2 ft to 9 1/2 ft. Does anyone know where I can find a brass pole that would fit 6 ft?

Thanks
Zack

Both ends of the pole are threaded for the bracket they go into so cutting the pole probably wouldn't work.

Please explain how it can be adjustable and be threaded on both ends.

I am assuming that one pole slides over the other but I know that I shouldn't make assumptions.
