Quality wheel wanted ! ! !

Dear friends, Now that I got your attention I will write: Many of you RAS gurus ( I won't name names for fear of overlooking someone) know me by now but I will repeat the facts: I am a 45 year dwarf and my family has been has been involved in motorcycle and car racing for 50 years I do not get around real well because of spinal cord compression which affects the feelings in in my legs. I am a "Sim ***." and use a TM GP1 with paddles for Gas & Brake. I want a Thomas and/or ECCI quality wheel with the same setup (Wheel and no pedals) Trevor says their add-on paddles are for shifting only. Being in RC cars and slot cars in the 80's and early 90's it was easy to spend to spend $ 1,500+++ on the hobby. Since I am a CPA, I have money to spend. I am willing to have a custom wheel made if needed. Bottom line - How or where can I get a quality wheel with paddles for gas & brake and shift buttons? FWIW, I'm the guy whose racer/brother died a week ago...... I appreciate all of your sympathy emails ! Also FWIW Eddie Hill (NHRA Drag Racer) is a client and friend here in Wichita Falls THANKS AS ALWAYS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***" PS This message will be repeated under several subject line.

Tim, I would think Trevor could custom make you a wheel ..cant he? Mike

Apparently the replacement to the GP1 has both pedal and paddle axes and you can configure both as throttle/brakes. Someone sent me the details of this but I can't find then right now. Your best bet is to consult Thrustmaster, Paul
