    ABR carries them. get one with the "catch" or you'll have to stand on it the whole time. also, get the model with air too. good luck finding one used that someone wants to part with

    I tried snagging a HA pedal on the forum a while ago myself without much luck.

    For what its worth its not too difficult to either make one from scratch, or modify an existing footpedal to work.

    I got a Torch Control Box from LTD with an oxy bypass.

    Opened that puppy up, swapped out all the 1/4" propane line for 3/8"

    Then took the oxygen bypass and attached it to the propane line for a propane bypass.

    The propane bypass when cracked will allow propane to go through for the pilot flame, and its adjustable.

    If I could go back in time I would have just made one from scratch. Opening that puppy up showed me how simple foot pedals really are. I will say that the TCB by LTD was of great quality. Took less than a half hour to make it HA compatable.

    I don't use compressed air yet so this worked for me. If you use air you should be able to easily make a pedal from the instructions from the board, or a youtube video.

    Good Luck.
