Just use a plastic arm. There's a standard one for 'beveled tanks' if I'm picturing what you're describing correctly. If I'm not picturing it right you could just buy a close fit and heat/bend it to what you need. You could replace the flapper chain with plastic as well. I'd try the nylon string with little plastic beads on it first, but I don't know if the nylon would hold up. If that didn't work I'd try solid nylon strand.. Look up O-ring stock. Its flexible and comes in any length.
