I think linemaster has an industrial foot petal 5K pot for 150-160 dollars.  Very heavy duty casting.

I was hoping for a pre-made foot pedal control unit. A little poking
found the Curtis FP-2, as can be seen at

However, I'm not sure how water-proof it is, and it costs more than the
controller. So that is out.

I'll have to look at the E-20 and see if there is a protected place to
mount the PB-6 and link it to the arm on the original pedal.
