Well; that is what a bell crank does, change direction of rod motion. Are you sure you can't use it somehow? repositioned. I'm curious also but it would take some pictures for me to understand why you need such major changes. I assume clutch fork ended up too far back or forward due to some swap. Seems like push fork forward with push forward pedal is no bell crank at all.
