silly design challenge

I have installed some unneeded Simplex retro-friction shifters on my fixed gear.
They are currently just a nostalgic reminder of my love for their effectiveness.
Our local multi-talented frame builder suggested that I deploy them for some other function.
My hope is to use them to ring my Crane stem bell.
I'm pretty sure that I would have to go thru as many iterations to find an elegant design as Edison did with his filament.
Here's a pic.
Have at it if interested.
My preference is for my right hand to ring the bell.
My left is a fused Frankenstein-ish-thang.
Thanks
