Introduction To Our Instructor Brake Kits We market two different types of cable operated Instructor Brake kits. Our company was founded on the development, manufacturing, and marketing of the Twin Stop, TS, instructors brake, which you will find displayed on the left hand side of this web page.
More recently, we have also imported a product that has been available in Europe since 1974, FAT dual control kits. This is displayed on the right. They’re both good instructor’s brake kits, however if you are interested in a good, basic product, we would recommend getting the FAT product. It’s considerably less expensive and is our most popular selling product. The Twin Stop kit is a more compact design and has been a favorite with some driving instructors and installers. It can lead to a responsive brake pedal and cosmetically pleasing final product, if the time and effort is put into the installation.

If you’re interested in also getting an accelerator pedal or a full manual transmission kit, you will be required to go with the FAT product, since the Twin Stop kit is strictly brake only. Dimension information for the two different products is given within this web site. You may want to consider how a kit fits into your particular vehicle since the TS kit may fit better in some applications, as opposed to the FAT kit and vise versa. An important consideration is how the cable will be routed over to the driver’s side and what would be the better cable exit position for the main unit. On the Fat kit, it is low and on the TS kit it is up higher.
Go to the kits' respective dimension pages in order to find this information. Click the links on the right above to get more information on these specific products: The 'TWIN STOP' (TS) System or The 'FAT' System. Presidents note: The cost of our TS kit is about 67% more than the equivalent FAT brake only kit, however you may want to consider that the TS kits are somewhat more complete. It includes a spare cable, installation metal, and installation hardware. On either kit, cables can be expected to last for the life of the vehicle, however this depends largely on the quality of the installation and what obstacles must be overcome.
Some vehicles will allow for a nice, straight cable path from the passenger side to the driver’s side, where in others, it’s impossible to find a good path, no matter how dedicated the installer is. A straighter cable path leads to a better functioning dual control and a longer lasting cable life. We do end up selling more replacement cables for TS kits, however you may also want to consider that these replacement cables are considerably less expensive than the FAT kits. You can find current cable pricing on the “Buy Now” page.
Safety Will I be able to use a passenger-side brake without prior experience? Our brakes duplicate the experience of using your primary brake. You can expect the same stopping power and sensitivity with the driver-side brake. It is state-mandated that driving schools equip each driver training vehicle with a passenger-side brake as a preventative measure to assure safer training. The use of a passenger-side brake by parents teaching their teens to drive is equally important and highly recommended.
How durable is the cable? Strong 1/8' aircraft cable ensures durability and longevity. Can it be locked from accidental use?
A safety lock pin is provided to prevent accidental brake depression by a passenger (or falling object) when brake is not in use. Who has recognized your brakes for use?. DSAA: The Driving School Association of the Americas. NMEDA: National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association.
ADTSEA: American Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association. ADED: Association for Driver Rehabilitation Specialists. AAA: American Automobile Association. Fit and Use Will this fit into any vehicle? Our brakes can be installed in virtually any vehicle—including vehicles requiring special modifications or those equipped with an adjustable gas and brake pedal assembly.
Will your brake interfere with my primary brake? Our cable-operated braking system works off your primary brake pedal without interfering with its normal operation. Will it damage the car? When removed, it leaves barely a trace.
On the driver side, one bolt is used, located out-of-sight, behind and above the primary brake. On the passenger side, the brake attaches with one self-tapping screw or bolt. How much room does the brake take up? In most vehicles, our brakes provide adequate room for feet to rest comfortably on the floor (in front and to the left of brake). Installation in some vans and minivans where the wheel well extends inward, reducing passenger-side floor space, can be more difficult.
Will the brake work with a manual transmission (stick shift)? Our brakes will effectively brake in all vehicles, including those with a manual transmission. However, braking without proper clutch engagement may cause the vehicle to stall, creating yet another hazard. Use with a manual transmission is, therefore, not recommended. Installation Does the brake come ready for installation?
All brakes are packaged complete for immediate installation and include cable with housing. For technical support, call 800-773-4104 toll-free. Are installation instructions included with the brake?

Step-by-step instructions and pictures accompany each brake purchase. Where can I get the brake installed? Our brakes can be installed by any certified mechanic. You can also find an installer here: What does it cost to install and remove? On average, an experienced mechanic will need about one hour to install and ten minutes to remove. The cost for both should be negotiated at one time. How does the brake attach to the driver’s side?
Remove rubber brake pedal cover. Drill a small recessed hole through brake pedal. Thread cable through the hole until ball stop is seated in recess. Replace rubber brake cover. How does the brake work? A cable attaches to the pedal of your primary brake and is guided through a compact pulley swivel-assembly hidden behind and above your primary brake to assure hindrance-free operation. The cable passes through the center console and connects to the brake on the passenger side.
By depressing the passenger-side brake, your primary brake pedal is pulled downward to yield full stopping power. Shipping How long does it take to ship?
