Have you thought of building a bracket that your foot stomp could slid into (hole at top and bottom). Drill two hole that would slide a pin though at the top and bottom of the shaft to allow you to trap a spring between the pins, the pins also keep your shaft trapped. That way you can mount the push button under it, When you push on the foot stomp to contact the push button the spring gives you the resistance and brings the pedal back to its original position. Kind of how the spring in a retractable ink pen works.
