Thrustmaster T3PA Brake Mod

thingiverse

I was inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2835515 but found the mod wasn't exactly compatible with my pedal set (might be a newer/older version) so I designed my own. It uses a pair of these dampers: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hsp-hpi-hop-up-parts-oil-adjustable-130mm-alloy-aluminum-shock-absorber-damper-for-rc-car/32593123945.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.Q01WaR I put them on the stiffest setting. It doesn't add a linear feeling, just makes the pedal about 2-3 times stiffer. I did some really rough measurements (literally pressing a scale against the pedal) to see what sort of braking force was required to compress the pedal and was getting around 25 N on stock setup and then more like 60-70 N with the modification installed. The design uses the Thrustmaster cone brake mod thing. Just remove the cone and then mount it with the M10 bolt. You'll also need a flat surface to attach the back end of the mounting bracket. Print the parts at a decent infill like 40% or 50% with 3 side walls because this is a structural print that you'll literally be stepping on. When printing the Pedal Clamp part you need to print two and just mirror one. You could get away without using the M3 spacer and just use a long M3 bolt. I've included the SolidWorks (2016) files in case somebody wants to modify it. Apologies because the Mount Bracket SLDPRT file is an absolute mess because I had to change it a lot. Hardware used: M6x60 M6 Locknut Small wood screw (x3) M5x20 (x2) M5 Washer (x2) M3x15 (x2) 20mm M3 Spacer M10x25 (Cap Screw) I used socket head cap screws for almost everything because that's just what I had lying around but you shouldn't have a problem using different types except maybe for the M10 due to clearance issues. Hope you like it and please comment if you have any questions.
