Band has side portions disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis of the link means and end portions each disposed around a respective bush. Each end portion is positively secured to the associated bush by wrapping reinforcement material around the end portion and associated bush, preferably in a figure of eight pattern, such that band is capable of transmitting both tension and compression loads between the bushes.
