I used a credit card, and it worked really well... except i only used it on one side, and it wasn't sized perfect to the skewer, so i had some slop.
Were i to do it again, i'd do two (like you did), take more time getting the size of the channel better, and either use a stiffer push rod, or run it through the arrow.
I also had a tough time getting the push rod to go through the control horn with it being so close to the rudder/arrow and not having interference
