I made a simple modification to my CH brake pedal that I thought some of you
might be able to use. I replaced my LWFF pedals with my CH pedals some time
ago, but wanted more resistance to the brake pedal. I tried the tennis ball
method, but was never happy with it. I had all these coil springs lying
about that I had bought while experimenting with the springs in the LWFF
pedals and was trying to figure out a way to use them with the CH pedals. I
needed a flat surface between the base and the bottom of the pedal to hold
the spring. I simply hot glued a wedge of wood to the bottom of the pedal
and tried different springs until I found one that wouldn't bind and
provided the required resistance. Be sure to recalibrate your brake pedal in
GPL.

Or you can just put a squahball under the brake pedal, works much
better than a tennisball :)

Andre, do you have any idea how hard it is to find a squash ball here in Los
Angeles?<vbg>

Ha Ha, I discovered that myself the other day. I used to play a bit of
squash in college (in canada).  I figured getting a squash ball would be a
no brainer. There is a squash club in burbank i think. I haven't checked it
out but I would guess they would have squash balls.

What, you don't play squash in LA? Maybe you can order squashball
online, it's really worth it, it works really good. There are
different types of squashballs, make sure you have a stiff one!

How do you get the squash ball to stay under the pedal?  When I tried, the
thing kept on shooting out from under the pedal.

Cheers

Phil

That was the same problem I had and why I wanted to find a method that used
an easily changed spring, allowing me to adjust the spring rate if
necessary.

I think your supposed to cut it in half or something.

I have the CH Pro pedals, there's a little pin behind the pedal which
keeps the quashball quite good in place. To secure it more tightly I
used some double sided tape. I don't think the pin is on the normal CH
pedals, since it's on a piece of hard plastic used to stop the pivot
movement, only available on the pro version. But try it with the
double sided tape, maybe that will secure it enough.
