Dual controls

[Matthew MacMunn]

Were there ever dual controls fitted to R4 driving school cars or did the heater block fitting mechanical linkage ?

Hi.
I learned to drive in my Dads Bronze R5TL.
It was an early one still with Dash Gear Lever before Renault moved the Stick to the floor.
The only Dusl system fitted was voice activation and handbrake.

I have somewhere a Renault accessories catalog from the '70s that shows the dual pedal arrangement, to convert the R4 to a driving school car.

Ah they did exist then, would love to see the set up if you find it

It is long gone now, but I once owned an R4 with a servo-assisted clutch. By the time I bought the car it had been disconnected but the servo mechanism still worked fine (it was mounted in the engine compartment at the base of the bulkhead). There was a big piston and various levers plus a knob which I think was operated from the driver’s side by a Bowden Cable. So yes, they did exist.
