- drill the screw head on 6mm ( for potentiometer axle ) - welding some support (for Poti) - welding a switch holder ( for games who use digital and not analog brake ) |

Yes .. i startet also a few years earlier ... in 98 i made my first own diy pedals for FS98 because there are no one on market you can buy.
So lets go on, today i work a little on the handbrake :
electric is ready and tested
next is glue ( epoxy ) the potentiometer and make the case for it |

Make sure you resize the photos, so the attachment is less than 500kb

Hi Jens,
please try it again maybe 2 or 3 times it’ll work. The same happened often to me too.
For your info I’m also waiting for my motors.
Good luck for your handbrake.
In which case will you use it?
Regards
Johann
