The replacement rods work fine as long as the ball on the mechanism is not worn too badly. Use a silicon based grease when assembling.

You can get linkage repair springs to hold the linkage together. I had a pair on my SE for 3 years and forget they were there. Never failed in that time, so were worth the £5 they cost.
