...however it requires sources and skills that aren't available to most people..

I would think a little welding and soldering is probably within the realm of anyone that frequents this forum. And with a slightly different switch, you can probably eliminate the aluminum welding for those that have DC only machines.

Correct Rambozo,there are many ways you can mount a switch that will accommodate your interest.The sky is the limit and your imagination is always free,just put it to logic and reap the rewards.

Well at my age,,buying green fruit is a gamble,,,so when it comes to a project like this i will have to go with a ready built..nice work and a well done project,,,just out of my list of projects..

Nice little project for an adventurous DIY person. I've seen at least project where someone made a pedal from scratch!

Yeah I have seen couple too but at least with this one majority of the work is done and all it takes is a few small mods and you will be on your way.Did I also mentioned that foot pedal pulsing is now a breeze due to the less effort you use with your foot.
