I did see linkage ends at a performance carb shop one, they had several different sizes, and all sorts of other carburettor related linkages and rods etc. to make up a custom linkage. I have wondered though- would it be possible to get some sort of half round nylon bushing that could clip over the ball and take up the slack? Mine are worn too, particularly on the short linkages that go from the choke lever down to the throttle shaft. I am not sure weather the balls are worn or the sockets, but if there was something that could be clipped in there it wouldn't matter, and take up the slack of both.
