How do you get a second pivot point on the end of the pneumatic cylinder (the end with the threading?)
Make a “clevis” by bending a 3-long piece of 1x bar into a U-shape, and attach it with a pair of nuts. The “legacy” pneumatic system provided this little part.

I generally just tread the end of the cylinder into a metal shaft collar with the insert removed, just like screw the end in were that little screw/insert used to be, works like a charm and is nice and compact. Otherwise you will have to use bent 1xbar like above, I don’t like using 1 bar because I’m altering that part, spend more time building it, and its overall less durable and compact in my experience.
