long spokes needed

Greetings all,

I am building a new wheelset for Capo #2, using the original Campagnolo Record high flange hubs and a pair of Nisi 27" clincher rims. The problem is that I need 305mm (drive side rear), 306mm (front), and 307mm (left side rear) spokes (yes, a full set of 305mm spokes should work) for my preferred historically correct 4X pattern, and most suppliers list nothing over 300mm. Before I simply give up and go 3X, does anyone know where I can find some long 14-15-14 gauge stainless spokes, preferably of DT or Wheelsmith quality?

Thanks and regards.
