Hello,
Hoping to get info on hand controls for my Startlet GT Auto, and find out if there are any other members here that have adaptions and what kind of set up you have to drive their beloved vehicles.
Nearly three years ago I had spinal surgery which left me as a paraplegic, it wasn't until August 2013 that I started driving, I couldn't get them done on the GT as when I started driving I was heavily reliant on taking my wheelchair wherever I went to, there was no way wheelchair and zimmer frame would have fitted in the car.
Mobility wise I have ditched the chair, now walking with crutches and ready to fit hand controls on my car, still cant use pedals as unable to do an emergency brake, so not prepared to take the risk using pedals and compromise mine and other peoples safety.
I have made enquiries for the starlet, and with it being an import they have told me it would be a custom job, they have a catalogue for all UK vehicles and can order the correct application to be fitted.
Could anyone tell me if any UK starlet steering column set up is the same as the GT? it could make it cheaper for me if the same.
I've had 2 UK vehicles adapted, I've paid the same price to get them fitted also, and would assume a custom setup would cost a lot more.
thanks in advance to your replies.
