How about this one?  I just found it in a web search, and know nothing 
about 
it except what you see on this page.  (Note: you have to turn off 
javascript 
in your browser, or this page will insist on loading its parent frame.)

They say it's "suitable for exposed locations," and since it's intended 
for 
use as an arcade game pedal, it should be able to withstand a lot of use.

Price, quantity one: $54.30

The only possible problem might be mounting it.  It looks like it has 
quite an 
angle already, and mounting to the ET's footrest might make the angle 
uncomfortably steep.  Still, I think I'll try one (assuming I can get an 
Alltrax - I've sent Steve 2 emails recently, and I haven't heard anything 
back 
from him).  I'll let the list know how it works.
