DFGT plug won't stay in. grrrrr!

NCRthree · Sep 3, 2011

The metal plug connection into the steering unit from the foot pedal cord is just way too loose. Before every online race I always just duct tape it as tight as possible. Last night I forgot and ended up with my accelerator cutting out at several crucial moments.

Anyone else have this issue? Better solutions?

Thanks.

yea I noticed that to when I had a DFGT. I always kinda wedged the cord so it always kept pressure on the plug.

Do you have to unplug it all after every session and does your wheel base move about a lot when in use?

Maybe put a blob of blu-tack either side on the wide bit of the plug?

I used a long rubber band. The ears on the plug made it hold perfectly.

Too bad they didn't put some thumbscrews in there!
