Where can I find high quality pots? Mine aren't very high quality, they cost
me about 1$ a piece and they are the best I can find. but they are totally
worn out. I cleaned them a few day ago and they spike again.

I currently have a TSW2 and I ordered like 10 pots for spares that was alot
cheaper than going thru TSW direct.

I have never had too much of a problem finding pots of the right specs in a
typical big-city electronics supply store...but every wheel I have owned so
far has used customised/special connectors between the pot and the
wheel/pedal device itself--meaning that unless you can forge your own metal
or cut and remould plastic, you're not going to get very far.
Does the TSW wheel use a more generic design (I wouldn't be surprised if
they used this sensible approach)? What do you recommend for the rest of
us?

The only 2 wheels I've owned is a Thrustmaster GP1 and now a TSW2. Both of
them was easy to replace pots. No customizing here, but I'm sure every wheel
is different.
