I was about to post something similar when I realized the MOMO Racing has a
"hard" brake pedal. To make it feel right he has to swap some piece of
hardware around inside the pedals.
You could try searching this site for disassemble instructions, or ask in
one of the forums.

That's exactly the issue I'm looking at. The pedals are different sizes
(possibly livable), and they differ in resistance. I was hoping to do a
quick swap, but I can't get the freakin' case open.
Thanks for the link. I searched there and have searched on Google and
haven't been able to find anything. It seems plenty of people have cracked
open the red MOMO simply enough, but I've not even found mention of anyone
opening the MOMO Racing's pedals. It can't be that difficult to open, can
it?

Just start by sticking things under the rear of the pedals and search for
that comfort level.....another thing I do is stick a piece of 3\4" s***
wood under the rear of the wheel prior to tightening it down, tilting the
wheel slightly forward..."poor man's tilt wheel" LOL

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it. I had actually thought of
doing that initially but couldn't figure out how to get 'em at a slant and
stay in place, since my toolbox isn't too extensive. Question... did you
build an elevated "false" floor around the pedal base? One thing I'd
thought of is that with the tilt, the pedals will be elevated to an unusally
high position. That's why I thought I'd try the upside-down thing (which,
btw, isn't feasible).
Wow...that's actually a LOT more comfortable! Wonder why I hadn't thought
of that.

Yes, I have a "false floor" under the pedals which also sits atop an 8"
shelf\platform.....I'm a carpenter so I have lumber...so to speak..LOL, but
you could probably create something with what you have around you.....I went
through many tests with different setups before settling and building my
current setup...I will tell you what I have now and then how I got there....
I have corner desk so this was convienant to do for me....I used my bass box
from my surround as a "leg" and ripped a couple 2x8s s***for the other
side. I cut the plywood around the back middle leg so that it fits against
both walls and I clipped the front of it across about the width of the pedal
unit....I left one side open for hiding wiring and other accessories...
The "false floor" is 16"x12" and under the rear, I put a 3" rip of 3\4"
scrap...I also cut tapered rips to close off and strengthen the sides...I
put a "V" notch in the top to center against the back leg....To keep the
base on top of the "false floor" I cut some strips of s***3\8" plywood,
cut appropiate notches to align with the foot pads and then glued them in
place atop the false floor....The foot pads fit inside its own notch so as
to keep it from moving around on the false floor....
To get to the final false floor deal, I just started using different
thicknesses of wood under the rear....you want to be wider or at least as
wide as the base to keep it sturdy....Try some old video tapes...I found
that a couple of 2x4 scraps felt good to me......while trying different
things I found that it was useful to stick a towel or something under the
base...it'll help keep it from sliding around....
Use your imagination, you don't really need tools, just some regular old
household things.....comfort is everything to drive consistantly
Good luck,
Keith
