Disabled Hand Controls for 340

Post by **petefarrell360** » 09 Jan 2007 08:58 pm

I have currently fitted to my Variomatic 340 a set of hand controls to enable full control of the accelerator and brake using the right hand. The previous owner had them fitted at new, and the car was used very little, 10500 miles since 1989!

So, if anyone requires hand controls to make life easier, or to allow them to keep driving their auto 340, please let me know. If someone really likes the 300 series but cannot manage an manual with clutch anymore, then an auto 340 would be a good move.

Either way, I'm not looking for much for the controls, as it if helps someone out, a few beer tokens would cover it and I'll help fit them if need be. I've left them on my car at the moment as the accelerator pedal arm is attached to one of the rods, and it would be easier to remove it from one car and directly fit it to the next.

The only additional item I would highly recommend would be a steering wheel spinner knob to enable the driver full control of the steering with one hand at the same time as using the other hand on the throttle and brake.

I can get some pictures if anyone wishes. It was made and fitted by Reselco, which I believe no longer exist, at a cost of £294.50 in 1989!

It's a shame that Grandad no longer has 300s, as his legs do get tired after a while now he's so old.

cheers

LOL, Foggy, are you on a mission to insult as many people as possible tonight!?!

First poor Hugh, who isn't around to defend himself, instead he's drowning a 360 in sand with no roof! Now Chalkers! LOL!
