Reproduction Bermuda bell. Years ago I missed a original one for $20! Pep Boys , western Auto, and others sold them. They are poorly designed. Unscrew the bell and look at the plunger. I replaced my weak plunger with an automobile valve. The striker is adjustable. The sound supposedly is a chick magnet.

They mount on the floorboards so your heal can stomp the plunger. Never saw one on the firewall.
Sometimes the hammer grounds on the bell and ruins the sound.
