Mine came from Ercoupe with the lever on the panel, I can send you a photo if you desire. Big red thing that you cannot mix up with anything else, I just love it. The mechanizm is stone simple, it is just a rod with a yoke on it hooked onto the valve, coming back thru the panel, I bet your parts manual has a drawing of it even. I just today saw my first coupe with the clunky under dash setup, I would not get along with that at all. This one also has a fuel gauge inside near the floor on the left side. Again, I far prefer my crude but effective wires dancing on each wing unless I have emptied the wing tanks. I am constantly amazed at some of the simple but very effective design tricks of the coupe.
