Help - snapped suspension height link

Guys, my disco went into suspension limp mode and dumped itself into the weeds the other day!

I've just got round to looking at it tonight with my gap diagnostics and when I got it pumped up I found I've got a snapped sensor link rod!

Now, looking online I can tell that they aren't standard and look like that they well be prospeed adjustable rods.

Can anyone advise whether I can replace just the end, and if so, where can I get them from, or, alternatively, has anyone got a set of standard ones to get me away.

Thanks

Make sure the sensor pot hasn't seized as the cause of the broken rod.

Yeah, the sensor end was fine, it was stuck on the wishbone end and I think that's why it snapped 😢

Whilst I was googleing last night, I came across these rods



So with a bit stainless tig rod and grommets I've made these to get me away

I think that they'll do the job OK, and I can also fine adjust with my IID tool
