Don't think you can - Radiolink are pile-'em-high chinese kit. The sort of options you have are:

1 - buy a new radio combo. At £25 it's probably the cost of a centering kit for a Futaba, and you get three of them... :}
2 - contact Giant Cod and ask if they have any failed T4U returns, then offer to buy the centre arms for £5   :-)
3 - make up an arm yourself. I can send you a .pdf of one with measurements if you want. There used to be one that I placed on the old site, but I'm no longer connected to my old messages... <:( <:(

I will find out as a one of our members has converted quite a few for people at the club., think it only cost a couple of pounds if that, just a spring, screw and a lever arm which I take it from theh language sometimes is a pain to put in but its one of those jobs which is simple as long as you have 3 hands.. {-)

Take off an existing arm as a pattern and craft another from some spare plastic, find a suitable spring and your done.

Takes about 30 minutes.
