The "FAT"
Dual Contol System
Fat Dual Controls have been available in Europe since 1974 and today are widely used in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Britain.
Many of you have been asking for a unit with an accelerator: These units can be ordered in one of three options:- Item #: FAT1 Brake Pedal Only
- Item #: FAT2 Brake and Accelerator Pedal
- Item #: FAT3 Clutch, Brake, and Accelerator Pedal
Automatic transmission kits come with a large brake pedal rubber.
Pedal height is adjustable using the screw underneath the brake pedal arm.
When the vehicle is not being used for instructural purposes the Brake Pedal is easily removed by pulling Pedal Assembly A out of Pivot Bar B.
The system is adaptable to different installations: The cable and housing can also leave the passenger side unit directly from the lower pulley.
Available In Manual Transmission: Clutch, Brake, And Accelerator: Front Left View
Manual Transmission: Back Right View
The use of Nylon pulleys with ball bearings eliminates wear on cable wires.
The same pulleys are used throughout the FAT system except for the small pulley used on the accelerator’s driver’s side floor assembly. The pulleys outside diameter is 1 5/8 inches.
Cable housing (oven referred to as the outer cable) is 3/8 inch diameter and has a white nylon inner sleeve to reduce friction and protect the cable form wear. The nylon white inner has been swaged together with the main housing using the steel end as shown: Note A
Note B: When the housing is tied into a knot the white nylon inner slides into main part of the housing at the cut end (opposite end of steel end). If the cable housing is cut to size by first tying into a knot; then when the knot is released a part of the nylon white inner will be left protruding.
When the knot is released from the cable housing the white nylon inner is left protruding.

Note that the white nylon inner of the cable housing will fit into the inner hole of the floor assembly: As a result the cable never comes into contact with hard steel: This eliminates any possibility of cable wear.

Passenger side cable ends are looped around a thimble.
Cable fastening hole in pivot arm is threaded: This along with the use of a lock nut allows the cable loop to be kept loose so that it can pivot.
