Default Steering Linkage - 3mm hardware

Hey Guys. I recently purchased a protek alunimum servo horn for my 8ight-e 3.0 with Hitec HS-7955TG servo. However, I later found out that the protek horn uses 3mm metric hardware but the TLR kit uses 4-40 x 1/12" threads in the steering link (0.1120"/2.8448mm diameter). Does anyone know of a compatible steering link which allows for 3mm hardware? I was thinking of just drilling out the rod ball ends/pivot balls of the default steering link to 3mm, but there wouldn't be a lot of material left after doing that.

What do you think? Perhaps I should just buy another brand of alu servo horn which uses 4-40 hardware? Note that I also purchased the losi alunimum servo horn (24T-Hitec/TLR 22) but the horn stripped when I tried installing it. I don't think it was a good fit...

Cheers
