PREMIER TWIN FLIP-UPS
We have developed Premier Twin Flip-Ups for new vehicles which have the organ accelerator pedal built into the floor.
Up until now, the only method of adapting a car to left side accelerator involved leaving this pedal in place.
However, many of Cowal customers do not want this pedal there as it can be in the way.

Learn to drive with Cowal equipment!
At Cowal Mobility, we have designed, manufactured and installed hand controls, left foot accelerators, steering knobs and other modifications to The British School of Motoring cars for many years.
We share a very close relationship with the organisation, who have over 150 modified vehicles throughout the UK.
We are very proud of the Vauxhall Corsa and Astra vehicles in their current fleet, currently being replaced with the smart white, silver and black Fiat Punto`s. To book your lessons with BSM call their customer support line on 08457 276276 to find your nearest branch.  
BSM instructors will order from us any special adaptation you may require which will assist you during your lessons, and Cowal will convert your car when you`ve passed your driving test.

COWAL HAND CONTROLS - NO KNEE PROTECTION REQUIRED!!
Many of our hand controls are designed and installed into 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!.

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.

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.

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.
