Okay, with all these sim experts I'm sure someone will have some tips on how
to keep their pedals ( mines a T2 ) from slip sliding away while in the
middle of a race. I'm about ready to nail the damn thing to the floor :) Any
ideas will be appreciated

I don't have pedal, but I was thinking that tack strips for holding down
carpeting might do the trick. Just adhere them to the bottom, with the
tacks down of course :)

Yup its easy, have you ever seen what holds qaulity HiFi speakers to the floor!

SPIKES...... get some, I used three 5/16th x 3" bolts, shapened the ends to a
(sharp) point, fixed them to back of my pedal board (also allows you to adj. the
tilt angle), gave them a good push into the floor (tough if you have a highly
polished wooden floor, it will wreck it!) and bingo, pedals stay where you put
them. Simple eh!

Find a *** mat (even an old bath tub mat) and place the pedals on
that.

I don't have pedals, but I'm sure this would do the trick if you've got hard
(linoleum or wood) floors. At your nearest home supply shop, or Walnut if
you're evil enough to patronize them, you can probably find this funny
anti-slip matting. It looks like some sort of woven fabric that's been
coated with a real grippy ***. Two (U.S.) $$ or so ought to get you a
four- or five-foot roll. So long as your pedal unit has enough flat bottom
to allow the fabric to "mate" (no jokes, please. . . . ahem) with the unit
(again, no jokes . . .), the pedals ought to stay very secure. It's not
permanent, so you can remove it for those living room dance-a-thons.

And's it's available in pretty colors--handy if you happen to live with
Martha Stewart.

True, I use these 'funny anti-slip matting' and it works great. And
you get a lot for little money!! For a few buck you can do a loooongg
time.

I've used this simple solution to good effect... Just drill a hole and put
a bolt or***through the front of the pedal unit to attach a strap of
some sort (old belt, piece of twine, etc..). Then put the other end of the
strap under (or tie it to) your chair.. Now mash the pedals to your heart's
content.

First off, put your computer where there is a wall behind it! After
that, I took a foot-long piece of 2-by-4 (in Europe I don't know what
this would be called), laid it down flat (broad side down) behind the
T2 pedal platform and on top of the metal extension on it. This has
the beauty of a) keeping the pedals off of the wall, and b) limiting
the pedal distance to about 1/3rd of the total travel distance. My T2
is from 1995, and I've never had to replace a spring. And I never have
to worry about it slipping around, although I do worry about pushing
the side of my home down.

Now that is a good idea. Bravo.

Go to your local department store. In household you will find some
rolls of what looks like thick net. This is a "no slip" *** sheet to
keep rugs from sliding. Cut a piece the size of your pedals and stick it
under them. Works great. If they start to slide after a while replace
with a new piece.

I came close :)

I bolted mine to a 2x2 foot shelf board, then drove four nails in to it
facing down, one at each corner.

The nails dig into the carpet and keep the whole thing from sliding.

Note that if you don't do this right, you WILL tear up your carpet!!!
