Replacement Clutch Torsion Spring

The torsion spring must be fitted to ensure correct operation of the clutch pedal. The spring pushes the clutch pedal down on the passenger side when the driver operates the car clutch pedal. This is necesary to ensure that the cable remains at the correct tension in use.

About ®FAST Dual Controls:
Dutch made FAT – Dual controls (marketed in GB as ®FAST Duals) are manufactured to the highest quality and are sold world-wide. FAT-DC, have been producing this control system for over 20 years and have a wealth of experience in their use for left and right hand drive vehicles.

FAST cable controls use a pulley system to connect the control unit to the drivers side pedals. The clutch features a double pulley system on the control unit to gain maximum pedal travel. The cables pass through a pulley mounted to the vehicle bulkhead on the driver side and are attached to the vehicle controls with a pedal clamp. For further information please see our blog article.

Uniquely, the control system pedals can be removed simply and easily by lifting them from the support brackets on the control unit – there are no locking pins or nuts to loosen! Ideal for times when the vehicle is not being used for tuition. 

FAST dual controls use Bowden cables which have a nylon lining to prevent metal-to-metal contact (the cause of cable failure). The clutch/brake cables are independently tested to a breaking strain in excess of 850Kg (8.4KN) - it would take an elephant to generate that pressure!

As with other makes of dual controls, the system needs to be correctly installed and maintained to ensure trouble-free operation.
