Default Water Rudder Push rod setup

In process of finishing the floats for my Goldberg Falcon. It will be difficult to use a pull pull setup for my water rudders as the elevator control horn interferes if I add an extra horn to the rudder. Do not want to have to move the elevator horn over as I would have to move it over about 1-1/4" and mod the existing pushrod.

However I could use a pushrod from existing rudder horn down to the water rudder horn, but it looks kind of weird, almost as bad as a cable. Want to be able to convert to wheels easily, so any ideas out there.

A couple of ideas here. If your elevator is split, then just use a solid rod as I did.
