Try callin Thurstmaster. They've been bought by another company and are in the process of moving all their stock to somewhere in Canada. They should almost be finished moving into their new home by the end of the week. -- Kendall Haughwout > On Sat, 4 Sep 1999 20:07:04 +0300, "Leo Merikallio" > >Thrustmaster sends pots for free.

I'm using a 100k spectrol 657 in a thrustmaster nascar charger wheel. The 657 is easier to find as 100k than the 157 and also smaller which makes it easier to fit (the shaft diameter is the same, 1/4"). (It won't work in a wheel that allows for more than 240 degrees of rotation though, the 157 allows for almost a full 360 degrees.) Note that it is not a direct replacement. The shaft of the pot and/or the gear wheel needs to be modified to make them fit together. The housing of the wheel also needs to be modified to make room for the new pot (the 157 would need even more work here). The improved precision and life time compared to the junk originally fitted is what makes it worth the trouble. I ordered mine online from www.mouser.com, the stock number is 594-657-0-0-104. _ Mats Lofkvist

thanks But i'm sure that some can tell me more specifications for the T2
www.mouser.com part # 560-53C1SW-100K $8.57 Made by Clarostat. 1/4 inch shaft that is bushed and the pots are sealed. These are very nice units a catalog so you can see what you're buying. I have built 3 sets of pedals and a steering wheel with them and they work great. DBH
