???

I can still get parts for my T1!!

I guarantee you it's years out of warranty!!

Unlike that Western Digital Hard Drive that went 3 months after its warranty
expired... :P

Order one for a wheel that you CAN order it for.  A T1 or a Grand Prix 1
should work great.  (They all use the same steering mechanism!)

The T2 is not produced anymore so spare parts are only sent anymore to
people that still have one under warranty.

I have sent 2 escalted messages to Thrustmaster support trying to get
a replacement bungie for my T2 and I haven't received a response or a
package from them at all..

I did get some replacement springs a year or so ago and it was fast
and no hassle. I have seen many more complaints with Thrustmaster
service in the last few months...
