He-Man Dual Controls
The genuine article, fitted by an authorised agent
He-Man Dual Controls has been the trusted name in dual control pedals for decades, and Howes Controls has been their authorised agent in Chelsea and across West London since 1989. That's not a badge we bought. He-Man only certify agents they trust to fit their controls correctly, and only a genuine set fitted by an approved agent carries their full lifetime warranty.
Fit through a non-approved installer, or a generic dual control kit, and cover typically runs to 12 months at most. We supply and fit the real thing, every time.
What comes with a He-Man fitting
- Genuine He-Man brake pedal, and clutch pedal on manual cars, matched to your exact vehicle
- He-Man's lifetime warranty on the set, backed by an authorised agent since 1989
- Fitted and tested before we leave: brake and clutch response checked, not assumed
- No permanent modification: controls can be removed cleanly if the car is sold or returned
He-Man Questions
What people ask about the genuine product and the agent scheme.
No, and that is the point of them. He-Man build a system for your specific vehicle rather than a one-size kit, so the pedals sit where they should and the fitting works with the car's own braking layout. It also means availability depends on your model, so always check before you buy.
It means He-Man certify us to fit their product and to carry their name, and it is what unlocks their extended lifetime guarantee on the set. Controls fitted by a non-approved installer fall back to the standard one-year parts warranty. It is worth checking any fitter's claim: He-Man list their approved agents themselves.
From the driver's side nothing changes at all: the car drives exactly as it did before. From the passenger side you cover the pedals rather than rest on them, and press only when you actually need to intervene. Most instructors describe it as odd for the first hour and unremarkable after that. One practical warning worth passing on from the trade: keep your foot clear rather than tucked under the pedal, because a pupil pressing hard can trap it.
This is the question we are asked most about new cars, and the honest answer is that it depends on your manufacturer and dealer rather than on us. A properly fitted, vehicle-specific system is designed not to interfere with the braking system or the airbag layout. If your car is under manufacturer warranty, speak to your dealer first and get their position in writing.
Often, yes, and plenty of our customers do exactly that when they change car. One point worth knowing: He-Man's extended guarantee is tied to the original fitting and does not simply carry across to the new vehicle. Ask us before you sell the old car, because timing the removal and the refit together is usually easier.
