After seeing the result of a failure of the original aluminum parts with the rod end glued and bolted in, I had some steel (4130 or equiv) ones made at a local machine shop. the proprietor took my old parts and made exact copies with the exception that the glued/bolted in rod end was replaced with a threaded hole that then had a length of stainless rolled all-thread installed. The rod-end bearing was then simply screwed onto the threaded stainless piece. If you have the original part, any competent machinist should be able to duplicate it in any alloy you wish. Incidentally, I had two dozen pairs made and they were all sold around the LA area within a week!
