stumpy Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hello All Recently purchased an "84" GL that curently doesn't run. Wanting to set up hand controls as I'm a left AKA. Figure I can use my right leg on the clutch and put hand controls on the gas and brake. Any one out there have knowledge of setting up hand controls?

TheSubaruJunkie Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Rooinator put a throttle control on his gear shift using some shimano bike parts. I believe just the cable and the shifter from a mountain bike. He uses his rig for off-road use and said it came in handy to feather the clutch, brake and throttle at the same time. Didnt look too hard, im sure you can setup something similar. I would use your left leg for brake and clutch, and just setup a throttle control for your hands. Braking a car might be hard trying to use your arms. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thanks for the input. Don't have a left leg (AKA above knee amputee) so it will have to be hand control or right leg action. I thought about motorcycle throtle and brake setup on the shifter. I could always use the right leg for heavy braking as long as I didn't need to use the clutch at the same time and the hand conrol for minor breaking needs. I do plan on taking it off road. Thats one of the reasons I purchased it. I have two Legacy AWD wagons but they have single range transmissions and are very low to the ground.
