Thrustmaster sends pots for free. I live in finland and I got my 3
replacement pots in less tha a week by mail.
Suggest you go there and fill the appletform in TM webpages.

I tried many times!
No more support for the T2 on the WEB...I e-mail them many times since
june .... They did'nt answer me!

It's bizarre, before they send me spring, bungie, etc many times in
the past...

Try callin Thurstmaster.  They've been bought by another company and are in
the process of moving all their stock to somewhere in Canada.  They should
almost be finished moving into their new home by the end of the week.

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.

www.mouser.com part # 560-53C1SW-100K $8.57 Made by Clarostat. 1/4 inch
shaft that is bushed and the pots are sealed. These are  very nice units

a catalog so you can see what you're buying. I have built 3 sets of
pedals and a steering wheel with them and they work great. DBH
