    While I was in the hospital the other day, I noticed the scrub sink had foot-operated controls for the hot and cold water. They looked like spoon-style rod pedals to me, very long (could be modified to fit your length)...what do you think? I'm sure you could pick up a set for cheap from an industrial supply house or plumbing salvage place, or from a hospital remodeling project/restaurant foreclosure. They come in chrome . Just an idea-

    Yer in the hospital, and still you see everything as it relates to hot rods. That's funny! [​IMG]

    The pedals must be reversed: hot~throttle/cold~brake...?

    Looks like a great design for something like a T with limited floor space. And, while you're at it, get to work growing a really big kidney stone you can polish and use for a shift knob...
    Put your whole body to work at rod building, not just your hands.

    Hot for the clutch, cold for the brake. Very cool idea.

    That would be one hell of a kidney stone for a shifter knob! [​IMG]
