MsFF wheel. Broken springs

by Bria » Tue, 22 Feb 2000 04:00:00

The MSFF pedals use non-standard springs.  I had my MSFF accelerator pedal
spring break and I surprised myself when I managed to replace it with one
that I bent out of a metal shirt hangar - the cheap kind that comes with dry
cleaning.  The shirt hangar was the same diameter as the spring.

I didn't think it would work, but the second one I made worked just fine.
It wasn't that hard to make and although the shirt hangar metal doesn't have
that much tensile strength, it's held up for a few months now (I've since
given the MSFF to my brother and got a LWFF).
