Hey Steve - ironically, I just changed the location of my manual valve lever a few weeks ago, and brought it up next to the drivers side seat belt latch. I got tired of reaching around behind the seat to pull the valve handle, which was especially difficult if I forgot to open the valve before getting belted in the car.

I had to fabricate a small aluminum bracket which uses two small sheet metal screw into the center console to hold the lever in place. I hated drilling in holes in the console for that, but they are down very low, and covered by the seat belt latch.

I'll try to take a photo when I have time.

I wish I would have gotten a picture but when I am on a track weekend I never take many pictures for some odd reason, which is bad because there are always lots of cars So routing the handle up by the passenger seatbelt might be an alternative if someone was considering this approach.
