I do have another idea.. if you are a diy kind of guy.
make a pattern of whay you need. buy or mill a small c channel that will fit the rod. drill out the hole and then two holes for a fastner.
you will have to grind off the old one. then mark your two mounting holes drill and tap them.
add the u channel, with some loctite. then squeeze in the drift pin with a c clamp or similar , so you dont bang on the u joint piece.
or do a similar thing with two "L " to make the required shape.. two more holes to drill and tap but would also work.
cover it up with krylon spray paint . hammered greay I believe is the finish , not 100% on the color.
