I think what the OP is asking is how does he interface his mechanical simulator to AH, i.e. how does he get AH to tell his simulator the attitude of the plane.  The answer, I suspect, is there is no such interface and AH doesn't spit that data out anywhere.  It would be hopeless to just tie the mechanical simulator into the stick output as it would immediately get out of sync with what AH thinks the plane is doing and you'd be upside down looking at a rightside up view.

Even if AH would report the attitude this kind of crude simulator would not feel real at all because it can't correctly simulate G-forces.

You can go inverted and be pressed 6G against your seat. Try that in the mechanical rat-racer :D

You can't make it feel completely real. All you can do is add some motion sensation and that would be pretty cool in itself.
