replacing pots for a logitech wheel

Hi, I have a just simple Logitech Wigman Formula GP (no force feedback, the yellow one) and about 8 months after purchase the wheel pot has started to fail, it "spikes", making driving not fun. I e-mailed Logitech about it and they said they offer no replacement pots. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement pot for a logitech wheel. I have tried a few electronics stores and they don't have anything like it. At least Thrustmaster sent me some replacement pots hen I had my T2. Thanks, John

I'm not sure about the wheel pot but I have successfully replaced my pedal pots with joystick units from CH. If I recall correctly the wheel pot had a similar shape and size to the pedal ones. CH is also dead easy to order parts from.

Yes, Pedal pots from CH pedals work perfectly on a LWFF. David Erb <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:rWfc7.32202$[email hidden]... > I'm not sure about the wheel pot but I have successfully replaced my pedal > pots with joystick units from CH. If I recall correctly the wheel pot hada

Try Mike Turner's site for good info on pot replacment:- http://website.lineone.net/~mikebay/MTIndex.htm Cheers Gerry

I believe all the pots on the Logitech are the same, so, just swap the wheel pot for a pedal pot. Spiking under braking won't be so noticible .

The logi wheel pots (at least the FF-one, but the yellow one should be the same)are 100k, so are the (old mach) CH-stick pots. The pedals have 10k-pots. The only source for wheel pots I know is MikeT, who modifies high-qual spectrol pots to fit into the wheel. Cya Jens BTW: the above mentioned data is for the old Logis. But IMO the new one should have the same pots. On Wed, 08 Aug 2001 18:55:19 GMT, "David Erb" <[email hidden]> wrote:
