Sounds like my plan is exactly what you need. With a little work you
could machine something that would bolt in just like a linear pot, but
still use a much more durable rotary pot. Besides, a pulley arrangement
is better at translating rotary motion to linear (and then back to
rotary, but that's irrelevant ;)

Of course that assumes that Beagles don't have sliding throttles.
