Super six kickdown

So I found the parts I need for the bbs intake setup, but did not notice the need to change the linkage. Now all the research I have done make this part seem like it is made of pure platinum or something. The cheapest I found on ebay (for the stock piece) is about $80 after shipping, if the bidding doesnt go higher.

I dont mind aftermarket, but everything seems like it's about $60 or more. I've looked here and on other sites and it seems summit sells something that works, but I'm curious if there's another car, like an Aspen or something or even a dishwasher part: where this piece exists at a lower price? It just doesn't seem right. The carb is cheaper than the part that lets you attach to it. I don't get it, but If I must pay that, I will...

I noted this question gets asked a lot, but seems like they are all old solutions. One of the suggested links was about $170 for an aftermarket linkage...

I have made an OEM throttle / DAKOTA kickdown bracket for my S6 / WEBER 38 setup. If I had a doner around Nashville I could make something similar for the BBD crew... LMK
