I found that if you apply about 1/3 -1/2 brake travel it will not lock up;
but brake properly. Anyway what am I telling you this stuff for? You are
faster than I am :-)

Many of us have taken a squash ball, cut it in half and used it to provide
progressive resistance under our brake pedals. (Actually, I use half a
raquetball -- maybe THAT'S why I'm not faster.)
Acquire a squash ball. Cut it in half. Wedge it under your brake pedal.
(On my MSFF, I kind of fold it up and just shove it into the slot in the
pedal housing -- it stays in place quite nicely.) Duct tape it into place
if necessary.
Many of us find that the feedback from the ball provides valuable input,
and helps reduce or eliminate locked brakes.
Try it.

Now wrap the squash ball in duct tape (otherwise the back of the brake
pedal will virtually *saw* the thing in half within a couple of hours)
a couple of times and***it onto the pin of the***by turning until
the ball is firmly fixed onto the plank.
Position the board at the back of your T2 pedal base, with the metal
extension of the base *underneath* the board which should have contact
with the wall for instance. Now make sure your brake pedals comes
to rest squarely on the top of the squash ball, recalibrate, there
you go, instant brake force feedback at a $1,99 ;-)

Uwe
