C.J. Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Bit of an odd ball question that possibly hasn't been asked before, but, does anybody know where I can either obtain/purchase or have made up, a set of dual controls for a Discovery? It's an auto, so I'll only be requiring a 2nd brake pedal, and hopefully if possible...never heard of having been done before tbh, a 2nd accelerator pedal? Checked out all the usual dual control suppliers, but it seems 'duals' for Land Rovers are simply not made....unless someone knows otherwise...hopefully.

Corrode Finger Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I assume you mean, driving school style? I would imagine that the trans tunnel and centre console prevent them from being fitted, most dual controls are on fwd cars, that have a minimal trans tunnel so the connections can reach the pedals below the dash/ behind the centre console.

C.J. Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Just need a bit of lateral thoughtSeems to work for the US post office on their Jeeps All quite logical when thinking about it. On saying that, duals are avilable for the Suzuki Jimny 4WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 As far as I can see, you'd only need another master cylinder and tee's in the relevant brake lines on the driver's side. The accelerator is easy, just another cable in series. You could even use a LHD throttle cable - the injector pump will just give fuel according to the pedal with the greatest demand (whichever's pressed harder!)

biasbilt Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 SOLD! You've got the job John. You could even just remove the blanking plate on the LHS and bolt in another pedal box (I think you'd need to relocate a fuse box or other rubbish like that) as the shell is designed for both RHD and LHD builds. That way you'd even have a servo. Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to save costs wherever now that Chrysler's having a bad time of it. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
