I have such an Andair selector (like many others), and indeed mounted it
quite low with an extension shaft to the selector knob. I'm very happy
with the setup.

The Europa supplied fuel valve is a piece of junk if you ask me, never
installed it (like so many other supplied pieces). I got the impression
it is for the water supply in the house and never intended for fuel, let
alone for installation in an aircraft. It is heavy as well.
