Help with Broken NASCAR PRO. Web sites w/info?

Help. I have been playing DTR so much, and trying to work the throttle, that I have broken the springs on my NASCAR Pro. (After two years... not bad I think) But I need to fix it.... NOW... so if anyone knows a web site that has some good info on how to fix this could you please pass them on... I went to the thrustmaster site.. and ordered the replacement springs... but still very little info on how to perform the actually fix. I need to know how to remove the pedals with out screwing the unit up.... and then get it all back together... Thanks for any help, Brit -- The Artist formerly known as the Mocker

Here is the link to a site that offers a repair kit for the pedals. I have not tried this (yet), but it looks like a great improvement. http://members.xoom.com/ProPedals/ Glen Pittman > Help. I have been playing DTR so much, and trying to work the throttle, that

Thanks Glen. This is what I need. I knew this was out there... I'm calling to cancel my order on those paperclips that Thrustmaster is selling..... Thanks, Brit -- The Artist formerly known as the Mocker

I would suggest an additional modifaication which will not only improve the spring life but give a better feel to the pedals and bring your lap times down. I first posted this over a year ago and a lot of people have used it with great sucess. Simply place a *** ball of your choice behind the pedal. You will need a backstop for the ball to rest against. The ball will provide a progressively stronger resisitance simulating the feel of a real brake pedal, try different balls, some people use tennis balls, squash balls or what ever. After a lot of testing I use a firm toy ball for the brake and a soft ball for the throttle. By placing the ball higher or lower on the pedal it will change the resisitance and travel. My brake goes full lock with about 1 1/2" of firm travel, ht ethrottle a good 2" of softer feel. Good luck, John Moore
