My new hand controls

[ian hosk]

That is a very neat installation indeed......

Is the lever just beneth the steering wheel used as the brake (pedal)?

Yea thats the brake lever ( its bolted to the pedal leaver under the dash)

Interesting Ian. So guess you would need to modulate the pressure in the same way one would when they are using their feet. Must be quite hectic/frantic if you are making brisk progress on twisty roads, especially if you need to change gear at the same time as applying the brakes (hard). Do you ever drive it in anger?

Yea i get the same feed back in my hand as you do on your foot when braking. It does get hectic when 'giving it the beans'. I don't drive the same as I did before injury- as well as not being able to use my legs, i also have no control of my trunk muscles so can't hold myself up when going round corners and also don't have full hand function so can't hold the steering wheel or gear knob with full strength. But otherwise im a very safe driver!
