Try it buddy, or, if your brave, get a mk1 astra linkage, and "skim" the ball down.

It fits, with about 1mm taken off the diameter.

Cable ties and/or lockwire.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I managed to temp fix it by taping the ball with electrical tape by a couple layers and it's working perfect

it shall do untill I get another good bush
