I place something behind it that will keep if from moving. A large book is good, just make sure you don't block the movement of the pedals. dave henrie "Bob Nielsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:RFcQ8.147$[email hidden]... > I just got the Thrustmaster Nascar Digital Pro 2 and I love it....exceptfor

Bob, Rather then using books, I measured the distance from the back of my pedals (TSW2) to the wall, then cut a piece of 3/4 inch plywood that length and as wide as the unit.

Get one of those clear-plastic carpet protector mats. You know, the one's that rip a chuck of meat out of your leg if you carry them wrong... Remove a few screws from the bottom of the pedal assembly, place the pedal assy carefully in the position you need it, and mark/drill holes for the screws. Since the plastic is clear, it's easy to see where to mark for the holes. Put the pedals in place, reinstall the screws through the plastic mat into the wheel. It is possible you may have to use longer screws than the factory one's, but I didn't have to. Voila! Non-moveable pedals! -Larry "Bob Nielsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:RFcQ8.147$[email hidden]... > I just got the Thrustmaster Nascar Digital Pro 2 and I love it....exceptfor
