It's been a long time since I messed with that 
rod.  As I recall it's a metal rod with each end 
bent 90º. One end attaches to the gas pedal and 
the other to a lever or cam that the throttle 
cable attaches to. You push down the gas pedal, 
the rod moves the cam and the throttle cable gets pulled.
You should be able to make one with a rod and 
then bend the ends to match the original. Heat would help with the bending.
