Purchased Nascar Pro Wheel on 9/28/97
Snaped gas return spring on 11/5/97
They may have improved the design BUT not the QUALITY.
Does TSW have overnight shipping?? {g}

I had my springs snap also; however, I never had any problems with
Thrustmaster. I e-mailed them my problem through their web page and I not
only received springs for both gas and brake...they sent me spare springs as
well. And the new springs are stronger. Have you tried their web page? My
response was quick and satisfactory. Just thought I'd let you know.

Thrustmaster's email SUCKS, but give them a call on the phone and they
are extremely willing to send out new parts to you for free. They have
been great to me. And they will admit on the phone that their email is
jammed up for weeks.

I snapped my throttle spring but used *** bands to fix it. I just super
glued some plastic hooks onto the pedal and the inside of the bottom plate,
cut out some of the plastic casing around the pedal and strapped on 6 heavy
duty *** bands. Works great and is easily adjustable to my preferance
now. It's a little work (mostly taking the pedal casing apart) but a lot
better than buying a new unit.

get a custom made TSW. no bungy. bike chain!!!
Since I posted a /GGGRRRR/ that I already snapped my throttle springs in a
TMNPW, I will also follow-up & say that 2 emails from last week got answered
this A.M....but a phone call the day after I sent e-mails had replacement
springs to me in the mail yesterday [THANKS Thrustmaster :-))]. They also
had me send in my brokens...so some R&D is occuring after the fact ;-).
Happy Lappin'

I agree with Ron Thrustmaster by far is one of the better companies that
support thier products.
