TSW and "Squash Ball"

I've read a number of messages on this newsgroup about the advantages of using a cut squash ball under the brake pedal of your wheel, in order to give it better feel. I have a TSW wheel and pedals (not the TSW2, but I imagine that the pedals are the same?), and would like to try something like this. The trouble is that I don't think that a squash ball would fit properly under the brake pedal, due to the angle of the pedal's travel. (You TSW owners know what I mean.) Has anyone with a TSW, or TSW2, tried something similar to this, and how did it work out?

Use whatever kind of ball fits, or build a backstop.... JM

I have a TSW stock ,I cut up a mouse pad and folded it a couple times,a piece of duct tape to hold it together and wedged it in the plastic slot about halfway in.The plastic holds it in place.This was originally a quick fix but I got use to the feel and it last's for awhile. Happy racing Buster

I own a T2, and the way I solved the pedal problem was to drive a large***through a plank so it would stick out of the other side, then wrap the squash ball in sticky tape a couple of times (the complete ball, not only one half of it) and then "srcew the ball on the plank, placing the plank so that the forward edge of the pedal base would slide under it, with the plank secured against the wall. Works perfect, and I havent changed a brake spring in years ;-) Uwe -- Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) Ever wondered what's wrong with the world? http://bnetwork.com/ PGP Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61
