My coworker found me some really cool hardware today that is perfect for this application. l'll post a pic of the hardware in my future write-up because I don't know the exact name.
I'm in the middle of tinkering with a stainless steel rod instead of wire rope. I'm sure the end product will include a steel rod because it pulls and pushes stronger and smoother than the wire rope.
I'm going to make another adjustment to my lever design and I'm still trying to incorporate the spring. More to come soon...
