% Is it possible to add paddle switches to a T2?  I have heard that it was.
% If so, does anyone have the procedure?

I am not sure that "paddle switches" are discussed at Wally'sWorld of
Driving Simulators (http://www.racesimcentral.net/~wottenad/wheel.htm), but I am
sure this site will walk you through adding "buttons".  You might have
to come up with your own "mounting" device for paddles, but you should
well be on the way by stopping by this site.

Adding Paddle Switches to a T2

I added a "paddle switch" to  my t2 and it works great. I formed a 1/16" brass
 plate into a gull-wing shape ( like a 1990 Tyrell), drilled a hole big enough
 for it to fit over the wheel shaft, an fastened it to the front of the
 steering wheel with some small screws. this plate is further shaped to feel
 comfortable (all 4 fingers in contact with the paddles) and is cut down more
 toward the center (to give it the proper sensitivity). The brass piece acts as
 it's own spring. Radio shack has some momentary switch buttons that fit into
 the middle holes on the steering wheel spokes. A set of wires from an old
 gamepad goes from the switches, through the hole below the shaft (pop the
 plug), and is wired in place of the original buttons. Although it took a
 little while to fine tune it has been well worth it, and works great with Gp2,
 N2 or Icr2.
