Manual brake pushrod

I received the bendix style brake booster for my 79 Volare and it’s so big that I can’t install without removing my headers. I don’t even know if the darn hood will close it’s so big. It’s the correct one…I’m considering just going back to manual, but I no longer have the original pushrod and not sure where to even find one. The good news is, I have a lead on the brake linkage for a power brake set up and I DO have to remove my headers to fix a leak. Any thoughts, suggestions?
