Act Labs USB (GPL?) Shifter - UK

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting one of these thingies but can't seem to find a source in the UK. Can anyone recommend one please? I would be using it with a Momo FF wheel and BRD Speed 7 pedals (with clutch). Software would include GPL, NR2002, F12002 and RL (one day perhaps ...). A few questions for those who might already have one: 1. Does it come as standard with a simple up-down gate for sequential boxes as in CART? 2. Does it require yet another power supply? 3. Do it make the Earth move for you ;)? Regards

I don't think Act-labs has distribution points all over. They are made in Canada, I think about 300 or so miles from here, but I don't know if they have an English Pipeline. dave henrie "Neil Charlton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ahpsa9$5gh$[email hidden]... > Hi all, > > I'm thinking of getting one of these thingies but can't seem to find a > source in the UK.

Act Labs are available in Germany,Holland and Russia. Andy

Thanks all for the help. I've ordered one now, along with 4 and 5 gear plates. Only got two questions left now (honest): 1. Anyone know how I can get hold of a sequential shifter plate (i.e. just up and down). It seems to be there in some pictures of the RS shifter but can find no mention of how to get one on ACT's site. 2. I've spent all my wife's earnings on a BRD Race Frame (red & black) and already had a Momo FF (red & black). The artist in me demands that this shifter must have a red or red & black knob!! Anyone have any ideas where to get hold of one? Thanks again for all the help "Neil Charlton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ahpsa9$5gh$[email hidden]... > Hi all, > > I'm thinking of getting one of these thingies but can't seem to find a > source in the UK.

the up and down plate comes with the shifter, it's a plastic one that wont let you "engage" the gear but the contact is made, it CAN develop a tenday to "jump" from the shifter if you are kicking the lever really hard, there must be way to make it hold tighter I'm sure. The knob can be remove from the stick, so remove it, paint it and put it back on....easy one... -- The first ever pinball ezboard !! http://pub7.ezboard.com/bpinball "Neil Charlton" <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message de news: ahrm77$5c5$[email hidden]... > Thanks all for the help.

Hi Neil Since we're competing in the FFRL together I'll offer you the following bribe. E-mail me me your address and in return for you letting me past in every race next season I'll send you one of my two sequential shifter plates. <g> Oh alright, I'll send you one anyway :) Phil --- Race Sim Central Administrator http://www.racesimcentral.com

Now that's an offer I can't refuse - particularly as you'll be passing me anyway :) I'll even agree to take Greger out whenever he laps me (i.e. every 5 laps) in exchange for a Momo knob. Err .. that sounds like some form of disease doesn't it ;) Regards "Phil Lee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ahs2oa$upc9d$[email hidden]...
