How to rotate the bellcrank and modify FSAE_2012 template.

As shown below in the first picture the bellcrank in the chassis is in the
x-z plane, but I needed the bellcrank to be located in the y-z plane, having the dampers making a "V" shape like below in the second image.
Problem
It would be great if someone could help me out in pivoting the bellcrank
to the y-z plane and have the dampers making a "V" shape.
The ideal
For reference, i am attaching the Picture of hard point adjustment table

Thanks in advance.

    Well, in most cases you would get data from a CAD model. But in your case it is trivial.
    Use hpl_BC_center+{100,0,0} and the bellcrank will be oriented in the YZ plane. The distance is not important, only the orientation of the vector from hpl_BC_center to hpl_BC_axis
