Answers.Body: <p>Your updated question mentions axle holes are not an option for your needs, and just pin holes are allowed. There's no LEGO part (I know of) with that exact topology, nor do I see a way of combining parts to achieve the desired topology within a 3L size restriction.</p>
  <p>If none of the below suggestions suit your exact needs, and assuming cutting off the pins of a <a href="https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48989" rel="noreferrer">48989</a> part is not an option, then non-LEGO parts are your only option it seems. I'll have to defer to someone else in that case. I'll leave this answer up, since it might provide inspiration.</p>

  <p>The manufacturer doesn't matter as long as the part is compatible with LEGO bricks.
  Also, a combination of parts is ok if it has the same function and no overlapping parts.</p>
  <p>The construction problem:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>the upper holes will hold pins with friction ridges (3L or normal)</li>
  <li>the sideways hole will hold a pin with friction ridges (3L or normal)</li>
