I can use my left foot for brakes so can it be hook up for just a gas pedal...my car has a left foot gas now but I am looking for something for rental

I would not recommend using this in that way. It is a push pull apparatus and in my opinion would not work correctly with only the gas pedal. I bought this for my paralyzed brother but when it is hooked up in his car, I can use it as well. It just takes some getting used to. It's not hard to hook up but for time sake, I just leave it hooked up and use it myself if I happen to need to use his car.

I've used this device for about a year, with increasing appreciation for its simplicity and portability (previously I, too used a non-portable left-foot accelerator). I now use these "Freedom Staff Controls" as full hand controls, brake and accelerator. Seeing mine in action gives me the impression that it probably would NOT work as you describe, at least without serious modification. It's rods attached to the pedals each act elegantly as a leverage/fulcrum point for the other, allowing us to apply full force on the correct pedal, while simultaneously REMOVING the activating force from the other pedal. You MIGHT be able to eliminate the left-foot brake rod, possibly by firmly anchoring one end of the upper hand-grip connecting rod, to the steering column or dashboard to provide the essential leverage, but it's portability could be reduced or eliminated.. I'm a tinkerer, and I wouldn't try it. The manufacturer/distributor might have an opinion (probably negative). Search for other specific "auto accelerator hand controls." May be a wheel already invented. Also, I'm reluctant to allow other drivers inexperienced with hand controls to use mine, having seen a previous handbrake-controlled car of mine driven through a garage door by a friend. These controls need lots of OJT before a driver is really safe with them. Good Luck. rgs

I've never tried to hook it up to just the gas, but I believe you can. Even if it is hooked up to both pedals, you could still use your foot for the brake. My wife (who is not disabled) drives the vehicle with the hand controls attached. Hope this helps.

Sorry can remember, but I believe you need to specify left or right brakes.

The only brake is a Velcro strap that holds the wheel in place when you are stopped/parked. I have not seen separate brakes available, you may want to look at the manufacturers main website to see if they sell a separate brake. Hope this helps.

Look for 2 small screws on the front of the pedal. Also there may be a reflector on the front side that can be removed to attach the pedal. These come with 2 self-tapping screws that attach to small holes in the edge of the pedal. If there are drilled through holes, small machine screws, lock washers, and nuts can be used. Each pedal is different. Check yours carefully before ordering.

Connect the parking brake lead on your head unit to a ground. At least that's how my VW was.

You could probably adjust and find a way to make it work if you need to do this. I personally never use my left foot in this manner, but I am sure you will be able to work it out. It's a great pedal, you just need to get used to the feel of it, as it doesn't feel like a normal pedal, at first it feels strange that you don't even notice pressing it down, but after a few days it felt great for me! I love this pedal!

It depends on your vehicle you may need a brake controller wiring adapter that goes between the brake controller and where it would connect to your vehicle. This may be available for purchase on Amazon but it has to be for your particular vehicle. Sorry, I am not a mechanic and can't tell you more than that.

hmm...maybe check and see if your connection to your foot pedal is ok, could need oiling...maybe needs a trip to your local service to check feed dogs...

Legally...no!If you check the web, they demonstrate how to bypass the parking brake sensor so you can operate it while driving.

I can't see why not, left leg for clutch hand control for gas and break you might have to get use to shifting you might be able to take left hand off the hand control to steer while you shift gears.

The gas pedal is a breeze. The brake pedal, on the other hand, is a real pain. I couldn't get it to go on; I think the metal trim doesn't allow the rubber to flex enough to slip over the frame, no matter how much you warm it. My dealer said they would put it on for me. Love the look, though.

gas pedal was no problem, the brake pedal was a different story. I ended up having the dealer install it as I never could get it on.

Sure but the bearing are very small. Maybe not worth the hassle and just replace the pedal if that becomes an issue.

Probably. The left pedals haft has a reverse thread, which may be normal. The pedals are quite comfortable, though I didn't install the straps--this way I can take my feet off easier for just upper body work.

I believe you can but you may have to cut the cable length.... These brakes are universal and are well manufactured...

First off do you have the towing package? If so It should work fine. The plug is located to the left of the parking foot brake peddle. Or behind the side panel. See the trucks manual under towing. If you do not have the towing package you do not have the plug. You will need to hard wire your break control. Check dealer for details.

No... My gas pedal is attached to the floorboard and that mat doesn't work for that side...
