Thanks, but if there's a chance I could get one of those older
cartridges, this wheel might just be worth keeping. I noticed that the
springs for the pedal mod look VERY similar to those in the back of a
Fender Stratocaster!!

Thanks Aidee.

Went and picked up the parts this afternoon and have it all dialed in
in just a bit over an hour :) I didnt follow his procedure exactly but
it gave me a great starting point. Its amazing how much better the
brake feel is without that *** stopper. A perfect example is when I
run ETCC and can modulate the brakes without locking up EVERY corner.

Wish I woulda seen this before cause it didnt take much longer than a
normal spring repl and should last indefinitely AND it works better than
new and best of all less than $15.
