1973 Ford 3000 Power Steering Drag Link

The tractor has a power steering coversion kit which was installed by a previous owner. The drag link between the two steering arms has offsets in the link tube on both sides to lower the center portion of the link presumably to provide clearance for the oil pan. The offset has given way and kinked on the right side (as viewed from the operators seat) and I have not found a source for a replacement. Does anybody know of a source for replacement parts for these conversion kits?? ( See photos)

Alternatively it appears that a straight tube might fit in its place but I don't know what clearance is required from the Oil pan.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
 
There is no real amount of clearance required, as long as it doesn't hit.

You can get some idea by jacking one end of the front axle up against the pivot stop, then turning the spindle lock to lock, and sighting across to the other side, or pull a string.

The picture didn't come through, but I suspect with a little ingenuity something could be welded up using the existing ends.
