HELP - Tie Rod adjuster needed

I'm in a bit of a bind.  Changing struts and tie rods on an '89 80 FWD, and
I managed to bend the tie rod adjuster clevis quite a bit while trying to
pry out the tie rod end from the strut housing.  I could try to straighten
it but I'm not so sure I would trust it now that's been yielded, and it
isn't my car so I won't feel comfortable with it either way.  I checked the
FA and the clevis/threaded rod is not available separately.  Only comes with
a complete tie rod arm.  See link below.

Does anyone in the Hartford CT/Springfield MA area have an old tie rod arm
they've replaced still lying around?  I imagine several other Audi
models/years, and even some VW's might be compatible.

TIA,
Bob
