Yes, Rick. Here's the site:http://www.perfectpedal.com
Now, mods that you'll need to make are to secure the pedals to a base that attaches to the seat so that WHEN you wail on the brake pedal, it doesn't push away. I have mine set to require 80-90 pounds of force to actuate the ABS (in cars so equipped) or lockup (the steering goes light and you lose directional control!) on the cars you "drive."
Makes a HUGE difference...

Now that I've done a LOT more track time since building this thing out (several iterations now but always the same ICP sensor and pedal force) I'm thinking about either re-doing it, or just going back to a commercial setup and trying out this Perfect Pedal thing. My setup just requires too much pressure to activate with almost 0 "give" to the pedal.
Does the PP have a bit of "give" before the brakes "bite"?

Agree on the pressure. That's why 60-80 is plenty, even a little on the high side. The stock is 2-3 lbs, which works only if you take your shoes off, and even then, not that well...

Completely adjustable in the PP. You can change (lessen) the fluid volume to "build" some play, increase compliance and improve modulation in the pedal (GT cars and sedans) or increase fluid level by a few cc and lessen it. There's a kit available with the PP to do that or just tell them what you want when you order.

I'll consider PP if I can't engineer something.
Tho at $250 for the PP, I could order up a set of Fanatec CSP's.... will require some more research.

Is there a single source to get a full cockpit; seat, pedals, wheel of high quality without spending a fortune? Once the cockpit is acquired, what's the best computer set up? I plan to place the setup in front of relatively new 70" Samsung TV.
Thanks in advance for the insights.

There are a few companies that do everything including a PC, but it's not cheap.
Here is one I know off the top of my head, no affiliation: http://www.mainperformancepc.com/

I finally received and installed the pedal upgrade - what an improvement! Much easier to 'drive' like I thought I knew how.
Thanks for the suggestion.
