TSW to facilitate my learning "heel & toe"

For some they may be better than the ECCI tractor pedals. Personally, if you
have never used the ECCI pedals you would tend to be a little biased because
of the look of the ECCI pedals. I have owned the ECCI, TSW and ACT pedals
and the ECCI are still better. I think the new ACT pedals are better than
the TSW pedals but thats probably just a personal preference.

Anyway... seing that ECCI have stopped selling units to gamers... and want
to concentrate on the commercial market exclusivly...  one might aswell
forget them.

I for one never did like the look of their pedals.. and was not willing to
fork out [way too much] cash to have them shipped half the way around the
globe - just to find out I didnt like 'em! :-)

You'd be hard pressed to find someone that has used them for any period of
time that doesn't like them. Just like the wheel, they are smooth as silk.

You get what you pay for Ed. Shipping one of these beasts to Europe is about
US$ 150. When you're shelling out about US$ 1500 for a control system, these
US$ 150 for shipping won't influence your judgement, I'm sure about that :-)

Does anyone know if the pedals can be made to work with (most games) and the
Logitech Momo wheel ?

I love the Momo wheel, and think it's the best consumer-grade wheel out
there.  However, the pedals have really bothered me (and my lap times), so
I've gone back to my trusty MSFFW (which has the best pedals I"ve used to
date) and put the Momo up for quick sale so I can try the Act-Labs stuff.

If the pedals can be made to work with the Momo wheel, without too many
gymnastics, then I would probably keep the Momo.

Are they actually buyable again?

The last I looked, they were out of stock.
