You can't add joints to the rod between the pedal and the bellcrank on the motor or it won't be able to push the linkage anymore. The pedal moves in an arc, and the original rod has the bend in it to accommodate that arc. My cab was severely settled in front enough that the brake and clutch pedals were rubbing, but the accelerator rod was not, because it was attached closely to the accelerator pedal, which is attached to the cab. The other end on the engine is far enough away that it didn't cause much movement at the toeboard and cause any wear. I'll post some info from my rod for Mike so he can get his rod back into the right shape.
[on edit] Here's a pic of my accelerator linkage rod with some dimensions that should get you close. I clamped the big end to my table and measured some critical points.
