Could you not remove the ends, drags sell the tubes alone.
If its short stroke nh pushrods might fit.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions.
So if I order some tube how does one remove the ends from the old rods?

I would be wary of using stainless steel as the rate of expansion is greater than standard steels. Sometimes the ends are on so tight no amount of force will remove them and the tube must be sawn through and the ends bored, mmmm bored ends
