 |
|
VW Fact #401: In 1964 "Device AB for Hand Operating of Controls of VW by Disabled Persons" sold for about 382 DM. It could be purchased directly from the German manufacturer and installed at the VW dealer.
Does anyone have any more information on this, or any pictures of the design? I'm currently working on a 1970 Squareback automatic, and I just tried putting in an off the shelf hand control set in the car. It doesn't work properly, because it is designed for pedals that are hinged from the top. So, I can't get full pedal travel with the set up. I either have to modify these ones or make my own. |
