T1 --> T2

Here is what i want to do, I want to make my T1 more like a T2, or even better Why, because my wife is going away for a month, and I need something to keep me occupied. First the steering wheel, any ideas on how to make a *** cover ala T2, or maybe some place where i can by it. Now onto the pedals, would be nice to get rid of those rollers, but it's not that important to me, what's more important is to make the brakes stiffer, like real life. I would also like to make my steering stiffer also. What I would like to do is change the whole casing of my T1 into something more sturdy made of wood/metal as opposed to plastic! If anyone has made other successful modifications to their T1/T2 i'd love to here about it, maybe someone knows how to build in force feedback! Now if only I had more time, and more $$$! JD!

For the pedals try using 6" metal strap hinges over the rollers, just ***one side down and let the other end flop over the roller. It will give you a more pedal-like feel. good luck! MJN

This weekend I've added a section on my website dedicated to adding wheel mounted shifters to your T2. There are pictures and wiring schematics to make it as painless as possible, so check it out!
