Do you need adjustability or is yours broken.  The stock one is adjustable.

    Well the linkage finally arrived but with 2 issues: the linkage is a littlr bit shortet than my stock one and one of the plastic ball ends is cracked. However the other end is fine. Is it recommendable to unscrew on of the ends and install it on my stock linkage? I will need to use a dremmel to sand the worn zinc plated scratched finish also. Anyone?

     Measure your old one first. Disassemble both and use the best pieces from each one to assemble a good one. Adjust the new one to the original's length. I'd start with steel wool if that doesn't work, fine sandpaper.
