The Ford Barn

Hi guys, another issue? Figured I'd put it on the barn. You guys are very bright! I'm going from a cable operated gas pedal. Trying to build a rod a
Linkage made with rods.the reason I'm getting rid of the cable is there's three 90 degree turns in it and it does not work properly! I realize I'm still going to have three 90 degree turns with steel rods. The issue I'm having is I don't know how to make these all work together? They all need some type of pivot point or a bell crank.does anyone know where I could buy a kit so I could build my own? better yet anybody have any pictures of what I'm trying to do? I need to go through the lower part of the firewall where the gas pedal rod goes through, that it has to go up about a foot. Then make a 90-degree turn toward the middle of the firewall. Then it has to go from the fire we're all to connect up to my triple Deuce sett up I have. So all in all I need to make 3 90° turns.unless someone has a more simpler or better idea for this, I'm certainly open to all suggestions.
Thanks..
