*** Thrustmaster Formula T2 Upgrade Page back online ***

For anybody who cares: Some days ago I put my T2 Upgrade Page back online at http://huizen.dds.nl/~jjcox Due to some problems with the provider the page has been down for about 3 months, my apology. It has been updated, * of course *... :) If there is anybody on this planet who knows some other good tricks or modifications for this wheel, let me know and help me get this page even more complete! Thanks for reading, -- Joeri J. Cox

I couldn't get your site to load. All I see is the banner streaming at the bottom of the page. I don't know if you have this trick but it's what I use. Some cool person from Hawaii posted this fix. Unfortunately, it's been so long that I don't remember who that person is. Anyway, to get rid of the constantly breaking pedal springs you replace them with tremolo bar springs from a Fender Stratocaster. I used the springs from a Kramer Strat clone, which uses a Floyd Rose tremolo system. The springs can be found at guitar shops like Guitar Center in the US. You unscrew the base, remove the top of the unit, remove the T2 springs, then connect the circular end of the tremolo spring to the pedal shaft and the hook end to the new spring to the base. There are a few holes in the base and a couple of them work well. I prefer the new springs as the tension is now constant and the pressure is lighter. If you prefer heavier pressure, then install two or more new springs per pedal. The circular end of the springs connect to the bolt that the old springs pressed against. One really nice thing is that the potentiometers don't need to be recalibrated as the pedal shafts don't need to be removed to install the new springs. Anyway, if you already have this trick on your site then it's old news. However, since I couldn't get your site to load (and maybe others couldn't get it to load either) it may help someone else.;-) Later, Buddha

I gave it a try, it does load, just takes a few minutes. Very good page by the way. -- Don Burnette I-65 Racing Dburn on Ten snip snip
