Manual air valves- ideas.

So I got the manual air valve from here, you know the one w. the large pull handle. It works well but I got a better idea.

I want to mount some sort of air valve that I can install into the floor OR to the left of the brake, against the car wall. Something that I can activate with my heel. That would be the ultimate way to blast your horns and have my hands free, keeping everyone else wondering where the F that came from.

Im hunting for ideas. Please advise.

Couple ideas.
You could mount the valve upside down with the handle coming towards you close to the floor. Then you would just step on the handle, but it would put your airlines up & in the open. Or, you could make a new handle. Use the same pivot point, but the handle would go the other way. Then it would take a push action and you could mount the valve right side up (keeping the airlines next to the floor).

I can make a sketch if you need it.

Looking at my Graham White, 3/8" thick material would fit into the fulcrum area.

You could have something fabricated to mount to the metal brackets under the dash… then mount the GW valve as a “Clutch” next to the brake.

But no push button type ideas, huh?

If you want a push button just simply mount a push button like the high beam switch was mounted in some older model vehicles.

Electrical? Or mechanical?

mechanical. Electrical would be too easy :wink: no I have to be a pain in the oven

The manual valve has a lever that depresses a ‘push button’.
We were giving ideas to make lever that you would push with your foot.

If you just want to buy something, there are industrial foot pedal valves.
Here is just one manufacturer:

nice foot pedeals, didnt even know they existed.

I was hoping to find a mechanical button to mount to the floor. I’ll work some thing out or may have a friend make a handle as suggested above. Thanks!
