LWFF replacement steering pots

Hi all- I have since early November been supplying replacement steering pot kits for the LWFF. Quite a lot have been fitted but I havnt been pushing them as I had a backlog of pedal orders which was snowing me under a bit (understatement!!) I didnt even put them on my web site as I didnt have a digital camera, so had no way of showing the product. They still sold well via word of mouth tho so with all the pedal work I really didnt have the time to promote them more. I have now just about due to the Xmas break caught up with pedals so feel its time to remind you all about the option of replacing your worn steering pots. I still havnt got round to updating the web site with news and views of the pot kit, I really must talk to "my man" about an update. I btw am bloody usless at anything to do with html and web pages so I wont even try! I modify a quality potentiometer to enable it to be used in place of the standard pot in the LWFF steering wheel. Although the standard original pot is cheap quality they seem to last reasonably well, but most must now be showing signs of "jitters" in the straight ahead position. To fit My replacement the only tools you will need are a hot glue gun and a small philips screwdriver plus something to undo the large nut securing the steering wheel. My wheel is modified to take Jen's ball bearing kit but I also have another standard wheel and this pot will fit both. I knew my standard pot was getting worn as I had the wheel jitters in the straight ahead position for some time which cant be good for the steering inputs. This kit can be fitted in around an hour or less and comes with cables connected already so all you need to do is plug its wires to the existing ones and tape over them to insulate them. Some have found that after taking their wheel apart to inspect or to fit the bearing kit that the wheel is no longer straight when powered up and supposedly in the straight ahead position and have had to fiddle about with extra resistors to try and fix the problem. With my kit you will not encounter this problem and it will also "fix" any wheel that has the problem now. Price including UK delivery is �20:00 per kit available now. Overseas orders at postal cost. Email me at [email hidden] if you would like to place an order. Cheers. MikeT. -- - MikeT [email hidden] http://website.lineone.net/~mikebay/MTIndex.htm

How about the pedal pots? The brake won't calibrate to it's full extent, about half the time. What do you think of that? MikeT <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I would suggest that the first thing you try is to swop over the 2 pots to see if the fault then happens with the gas pot (old brake) if it does then yes the pot is worn out. If the fault is still with the brake then you have either a wiring fault, intermittent and maybe hard to find or a fault on the circuit board of the LWFF unit which you probably wont be able to fix or get fixed easily. You may get a bit more mileage from a worn pot by spraying it with a good quality carbon track spray, but when they get that worn replacement is normally the only long term option. I havnt up to now contemplated supplying pots for the original LWFF pedals as I sell a replacement pedal set, if there was enough interest in them I could jig up to make some but I have no idea how many guys are still using the original pedals. Let us know how you get on. Good luck. MikeT. -- - MikeT [email hidden] http://website.lineone.net/~mikebay/MTIndex.htm
