Where can I find brake and accelerator springs for my T2 Thrustmaster.   I
ordered some two weeks ago from Thrustmaster's site but haven't got any
reply.  My warrenty being over, I must assume they don't care.

Any help would be appreciated in finding those springs from an online store
or otherwise.  I live in Hull, Province of Qubec, near Ottawa, Canada.

See Ya !

=:-D

Good luck,

Hi Robert!

Why bother getting springs, try this: Go to a bicycle shop or similar and
buy one of those bungee-springs used to tie your luggage onto a bike or on
the roof of a car.......next.....get a wooden plate about 1meterX1meter and
***your TM onto it.......next .......screw a piece of about 30cm
bungee-cord to the upper, backside of the pedal, then tighten it and***
the other end behind and beside your foot onto the wooden plate, same with
the other pedal. Now U have the advantage of beeing able to adjust the
stiffness of your pedals to your need and also you can rest your feet on the
plate so the pedals dont move around anymore!.......I used that method for
about a year until I got sick of friends laughing at my trashy Thrustmaster
which had no more cover on the wheel-unit anymore as I replaced that bungee
also with a longer one (mounted on another wooden plate as well) to adjust
steering-feel to my needs and to get better access to the
potis..........Hope to be of some (trashy) help :))
