I'm using a 100k spectrol 657 in a thrustmaster nascar charger wheel.
The 657 is easier to find as 100k than the 157 and also smaller which
makes it easier to fit (the shaft diameter is the same, 1/4").
(It won't work in a wheel that allows for more than 240 degrees of
rotation though, the 157 allows for almost a full 360 degrees.)
Note that it is not a direct replacement. The shaft of the pot
and/or the gear wheel needs to be modified to make them fit together.
The housing of the wheel also needs to be modified to make room for
the new pot (the 157 would need even more work here).
The improved precision and life time compared to the junk originally
fitted is what makes it worth the trouble.
I ordered mine online from www.mouser.com, the stock number is
594-657-0-0-104.
