More | WHAT WILL OUR HAND CONTROLS LOOK LIKE ON YOUR CAR? As you will see, on the majority of vehicles, we are able to hide the rods for the brake & accelerator BEHIND the steering column cowling. This ensures that none of the rods are visible and will not get in the way of your knees etc. We fit the rods high up onto the pedals, so again, they do not restrict normal driving, and allows the pedals to be `flipped-up` if required. |
More | COWAL HAND CONTROLS - NO KNEE PROTECTION REQUIRED!! Many of our hand controls are designed and installed privately owned vehicles. This means that we convert many top of the range vehicles, which our customers demand first class controls on. We have customers who return to Cowal year after year and have their vehicles delivered from all over the UK as they won`t trust anyone else to do the job!. |
More | MORGAN ROADSTER CONVERSION We have just completed a full conversion to a new Morgan Roadster. |
More | The new Mercedes C Class TWIN FLIP-UPS The new shape C Class 2007/8 model has an organ pedal which quite short, so we move the whole electronic mechanism up into the foot well, so the drive has much more foot room. |
More | LEFT FOOT THROTTLE PEDALS ON VW`s, AUDI`S & MINI COOPER`s Some of the new VW, Audi & Mini Cooper (not Mini One) vehicles (also Porsche) have the `total` electronic accelerator pedal. |
More | MERCEDES BENZ HAND CONTROLS We are asked to convert many top-of-the-range Mercedes vehicles, and our customers are interested to see the end results. Here I am posting pictures of our hand controls on some Mercedes for perusal by a prospective customer. |
More | SPECIAL TWIN FLIP-UPS TO SUIT THE INDIVIDUAL Occasionally we are asked to modify our Twin Flip-Ups to suit the individual. |

More | SPECIAL HAND CONTROL LEVERS TO SUIT THE INDIVIDUAL We can design a special lever to suit your requirements or preferences. You don`t necessarily have to settle for our standard levers, as we can make one which is more comfortable for you, and cover them in foam for a softer feel. |
More | COWAL TWIN FLIP-UP ACCELERATOR PEDALS FOR VEHICLES WITH ORGAN PEDALS Most new vehicles have electronic accelerator pedals, but some like the BMW`s, Mini`s and Mercedes have organ type pedals which are fitted to the floor of the vehicle. This is not a problem for us, as we can still install our Twin Flip-Ups. |

More | OUR 150KG REAR POWERED HOIST It seems we can get a quart in a pint pot!. Some heavy scooters and powerchairs need to be carefully catered for when they are needed in the back of a vehicle. |
More | IGNITION & START BUTTONS FOR RIGHT ARM DISABLED Turning the ignition key is a difficult task for many right arm disabled drivers. We have been installing left side ignition switches and start buttons for years. Simply flick the switch to ON and push the START BUTTON and jobs done! |
More | RENAULT KANGOO HAND CONTROLS This entry has been added for the benefit of Willy RobinsonThe Kangoo has a very sloping dash and the rods for our hand controls are not as hidden as well as we`d hope. They are still high up though |
More | FOLD UP BRAKE & THROTTLE PEDALS For disabled drivers using hand controls, who require maximum foot clearance, or want to reduce the risk of their foot/feet interfering with the pedals, we can flip up both or just one of the foot pedals. This is a popular method for drivers who dislike pedal guards. |
More | YAMAHA JWI, JWII & JWX-1 POWER WHEELS We can install power wheels to your manual wheelchair, so that you have power assistance via a joystick (JWI) or rims (JWII). The new JWX-I offers this assistance but is very lightweight and allows the wheelchair to fold fully. |
More | THE REAR HATCH OPENER AND CLOSER Our powered rear hatch opener/closer is a successful addition to our itinery of innovative modifications. The power hatch will lock the hatch door when closed which is not always offered on other power hatch systems. The rear door is operated via a discreet switch on the dash board. |
