    Just buy the original push rod and a length of hollow carbon tube, cut it to the right length, put a little epoxy on the rod and push it through. Put your ball links on and your done. Gave my 450 a much more locked in tail :-)

      I bought a set of spare link rods and a length of carbon tube from my LHS and made my own.

        I don't know if this is any help, I have one of these as a spare, and I'm sure the rod is carbon, as it has the same strength and feel as the push rod fitted on my 450.

        I also have a steel push rod and that bends like buggery, but the below mentioned rod is very much stronger, and doesn't flex.
