Hello ronsteele,

Thanks for your question.

Searching for [driving instructor brake pedal] lead me to Driver
Training Products.com at
http://www.drivertrainingproducts.com/dualbrake-LP.htm

Here you will find two models, one for an automatic and one for a
manual transmission that also includes a clutch control:

Driving Instructor's Dual Brake Set 
 
   
...Provides positive braking and ease of operation by the driving
instructor. The use of aircraft grade cable and fittings insures
safety. The Dual Brake Set installs completely within the passenger
compartment, even in vehicles with limited space under the dash. The
actuation cable can be easily adjusted to length during installation.

They list some of their features as:

A unique pedal arm design that allows easy braking with power brakes
and non-power brakes

A pivoted pedal that provides a comfortable angle 

An adjustable pedal position radial ball-bearing pulley made from
screw machine parts

An enclosed flexible cable casing to protect floor carpeting and
insure smooth cable operation

A metal step to adjust the pedal angle for ease of use 

Easily transfers from car to car 

Replacement parts are available 


 
 UNIVERSAL DUAL BRAKE CONTROL

for automatic transmission car and van installation 9602 
$216.00 

 
UNIVERSAL DUAL BRAKE AND CLUTCH CONTROL

for standard shift car and van installation with clutch pedal 9604

They are pictured on the above mentioned page and appear to be quality
construction. These can be purchased from this web page as well.

Enjoy your driving lessons!

Please don't use it too much. My instructor used it all the time and
it drove me nuts.
