T2 broken spring.

My brakepedal spring gave up last night, I've read before (I think..) that people has got replacements from Thrustmaster for free, am I correct on this? Where do I turn to get them, does the age of the wheel matter, will I get a confirmation from Thrustmaster that the spring are on their way, does it matter that I'm in Europe, a lot of questions, hope someone can bring some answers. /Regards Stefan -- ========================================================== Software Developer Phone(Work): +46-(0)243-886 01 Columna AB Phone(Cell): +46-(0)70- 665 75 67 "Computers are like airconditioners; they stop working if you open Windows" ==========================================================

I don't know about the Europe part, but I simply went to their web site's T2 tech support area, and they have a form to fill out (they kind of expect you to have the spring problem; when I wrote my "description of the problem" I wrote it as a song to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel" ("Snap Goes the Pedal"). I think there was an automated email response, and then a short time later, the new springs arrived in the mail -- this despite that I'd bought the T2 more than two years previous, well beyond official warranty period. Getting the new spring on was quite a task, I'll tell you now. But at least I was able to get it fixed just a day before GPL came out! -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 3 Oct.

To add to Ron's reply "I don't know about the Europe part" : I live in The Netherlands and had new springs within a week. For free. -- Ren van Lobberegt, The Netherlands.

Stefan, Just go to http://www.thrustmaster.com, find the support page, and fill out the form. I got my new springs in about a week (here in the U.S.A., might take a little longer for you). Good luck, Dave Ewing

If u want something to get it working b4 your new spring comes I found that a bicycle spoke bent round a metal bar of the right size to do the trick.It wont last for anywhere near as long as a proper spring and will probably feel a little weak but it is a handy alternative to keep u driving :-) Or u can use a long straight spring attached to the spring stop on the pedal and the other end poked through a drilled hole on bottom of base. -- Vince Fisher

How about the post that someone got a whole new wheel from Thrustmaster!
