RHD Dual Control Pedals for ADI's & Driving Schools
The purchase and fitting of car dual controls to driver training vehicles can be a major expense for driving instructors. FAST Universal dual controls are economical and re-usable. These Dutch made FAT – Universal controls are marketed in Ireland, as FAST and are manufactured to the highest quality, have European TUV certification and are sold world-wide. FAT-DC, have been producing this control system for over 35 years and have a wealth of experience in their use for left and right hand drive vehicles.
How they work
FAST cable controls use a pulley system to connect the control unit to the driver’s side pedals. The clutch features a double pulley system on the control unit to gain maximum pedal travel. The cables pass through a pulley mounted to the vehicle bulkhead on the driver side and are attached to the vehicle controls with a pedal clamp. The clutch/brake cables are independently tested to a breaking strain in excess of 850Kg (8.4KN) - it would take an elephant to generate that pressure! Uniquely, the control system pedals can be removed simply and easily by lifting them from the support brackets on the control unit – there are no locking pins or nuts to loosen! Ideal for times when the vehicle is not being used for tuition.
FAST dual controls can be adapted to various configurations including automatic transmission (single wide pedal) and can be supplied with a dual accelerator, widely used in Europe and elsewhere, however, accelerator controls MUST be removed from vehicles used for the driving tests. Therefore, the control accelerator linkage and pedal are designed for swift and easy removal prior to test.
