HG Scoop: More clutch pedal info

Hi all,

I promised you more information on the 'mysterious video' we posted last
week. There have been some delays, but now we can 'spill the goods' for the
first time. Read more on the "prototype" over-head mount pedal system
controller being developed for mass production by Ball Racing, LTD at
http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Enjoy!

HG Scoop: More clutch pedal info

This pedal setup is quite nice, well actually wicked nice,  the more I
looked at it the more I kept looking at my TSW2 setup (specifially the
pedals) I wondered if I made an aluminum or wood frame box then
flipped my TSW pedals upsidedown (hanging down inside the box)
couldn't I essentially achieve the same thing?

Of course I'd have to switch around the pedal springs to get the gas
pedal back on the right side :-)

    I did this very thing with two Thrustmaster peddle sets.  (4 peddles but
took one off).  It has worked very nice and felt "almost" natural for a
street/competition car however I was missing the peddle throw, length, and
the right spring pressures.  So, the last couple three months I've been
developing my own system on a dry erase board.  Everything is done it's just
a matter of building it...  buying the bearings, steel, use of a machine
shop, et..  I also have been reading a GPL specific News group where two
people have built a fantastic system that includes a pneumatic<sp?> break
system with a bunch of other gadgets just for the break peddle, and the math
for the gas peddle too :-)

    The push button Clutch peddle I don't think I like about the movie
version because I don't know what WSC will really need.  But it might work
out for that to(?)
