Toilet flush connector

Hi,

I have a standard flush toilet such as were commonly installed
in the midwest in the 50's.

It has a flap stopper that works OK (I had to drill a hole
in it). The handle/lever looks OK.

Question is, what should I use to connect the lever to
the stopper? I have tried nylon cord, wire, and chain
in the past. All, in time, presented problems.

Because the stopper seals OK, I don't wish to replace it.
Just fashion something to connect it to the lever so
it won't jam/kink etc.

Any/all suggestions most welcome.

if you can tie the correct knot....... fishing line with a couple of split
sinkers spaced to keep it untangled.
