Tomcat: "Replaced the original 8.5mm fiberglass poles on my Cabelas Alaskan Guide tent with with 11mm aluminum poles I purchased on ebay and custom cut to length.     "
I have used 11mm poles to build several replacement frames including a Eureka CampTrails 4 pole dome very similar to yours. Sturdy for sure! One 11mm (.433), pole will also make a small pile of pole repair splints for 8.5 and 9mm poles.
Ebay and Quest Outfitters are my sources and I keep a bunch of 9mm 24 inch extras on had. along with assorted sleeves, ends, and shock-cord.

Does any one have a good place to get replacement tent poles? May need to be custom lengths.

I can probably repair it. It is only a car camping tent. Need to track down 1/8" shock cord. Kelty Yellowstone 4.

In the unlikely case that Butthead doesn't have one of whatever you need, you can fall back on this.

Check Amazon for both shock cord and poles. Lots.

They carry bulk shock cord at my REI in two sizes. If you are near one give it a try. They also have 4 inch tubes meant for tent repair.

REI, Amazon, Tent Pole Tech were listed, and good sources.
2 others I use often, Quest Outfitters and Ebay
To trim poles to length a tubing cutter is handy.

I have purchased new aluminum tent poles on ebay and custom cut them to fit several of my tents and tarps. I have been completely satisfied with the quality and it has allowed me to tailor the collapsed storage length to better fit in my backpack.
