Default Y-adapted pushrod

Hello,
my plane is suffering from elevator deflection; the side of the elevator with the control horn is more precise than the side with nothing, causing my plane to roll with elevator input. There are cutouts for push rods on both sides of the plane, so I'd like to add a control horn to the opposite side of the elevator. What is the best way to link the two push rods together? (I just realized I could run one full length rod, and splice a second piece on to it, or I could form a Y-shaped device, and run a 3/4 length push rod to a connector, and have two pieces (1/4 length) to each half of the elevator.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
