Looking for a few Spokes for 18"rim

[ucmlamb]

I've been fixing several issues with a PO's chop of an 81 xs400. Long story short, I'm re-lacing the rear 18" wheel with a new hub and i have several rusted spokes that i can't break free. So I'm looking for a few spare spokes for an 18" wheel. I know i could buy a new set for @$75, but i already spent $80 on the hub and..., The ones i have are about 6.25 inches from the tip to the bend.
I was hoping someone here might have a few spares they would part with.

Many people will probably say not to do it, so be prepared for that. How many you need? I'm pretty sure I have some, can't remember if I threw them out or not. I'd have to dig them out of the shed.

Also, a brand new set of cadmium plated rear spokes is only $30 at MikesXS. Here's a link.

Thanks to inputs from rshutchison I found and ordered a new set of spokes from MikesXS instead of reusing the old spokes. Does anyone know the torque specs for the new spokes? I checked the manuals on this forum and I don't see what the torque is supposed to be.

Use the 'tuning fork' method, just tap them with a spoke wrench and when the sound is right, you are there. Then the proper 'tourqe' is whatever it takes for a proper true.
