Right Hand Drive pedal controls

I'm looking for some kind of way to control the pedals of a car from the right side. This would be like the driver's ed cars.

I'm unemployed right now, but the itch for more speed parts makes me want to get a job. The local post office is hiring drivers but we need our own vehicles. Any ideas?

To add the set of pedals will cost $1k+ alone. If you want the steering wheel it is $4k+. I asked my driver's ed teacher and she had a magazine.

My dad did this for the brake pedals in driving school cars. They figured they could make their own passenger brake pedals out of Home Depot parts instead of shelling out over a grand for the actual passenger student driver brake pedals they used to get. Its kinda ghetto tho, I'll take some pictures if you want. He's done it in the old corollas, Daewoo Leganzas, a Honda Prelude, and just recently a tonnnn of Altimas.

You would really let random people drive that nice maxima? Granted you would have control of the brakes, but I'd be too worried someone would hit a curb a **** my wheels up.

If you want to make some extra money with your, deliver pizzas or chinese food or something.

I'm at work now, I'll take some pictures tonite and hopefully will be posted by then.

You should check out some driving school or driving aid catalogs. I remember seeing some special modifications you can do to your gas and brake pedal so that you could drive with your hands. Supposed to be for handicap people with no feet, but who sez people with feet cant use em? They'll also have the real passenger gas and brake pedals for driving instruction use.

umm...I also remember watching Coneheads and they had a driving school car with a usuable steering wheel on both driver and passenger sides. Good luck finding that mod, I've been looking for that one for a while.
