Gears would allow customizing pedal to Throttle opening ratio.
I have no formal engineering background so this may be a daft idea...
Or genius...
HHHH.
Hope this helps.

Whilst technically a good idea, as it gives perfect 1:1 motion if done right, the gears wouldn't easily fit as the banks are off set and a fair
distance apart. They could possibly be laser cut to avoid the fabrication issue though......

Gears are one option I considered, but as Si has said there's manufacturing issues and it's beyond my capabilities without farming it out.
My alternate option is to mount a bearing on a plate each end and run a lay shaft down the middle with cable wheels on each end of the shaft to link
with the existing ones on the throttle bodies. The actual linkage from the pedal would then go to a third cable wheel in the middle of the lay shaft.
Simpler than it sounds, and whilst I am confident I can make it myself the twin cable set up is even simpler and hopefully easier to make!
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Found this thread useful for a project I'm working on, for anyone else this may help.
Found a great supplier for Bellcranks, linkages etc etc.
Ive this all in one Bellcrank, cable holder, throttle stop, spring device with proportional throttle opening 
Its on its way from Australia to me now now.

This will be mounted in the V of the V8 to convert from FlybyWire to Manual cable opening.
