It's been a while since I've posted or really been active on this forum, so hi!

Really wanting to enjoy GT6 but frustration happened when I accidentally snapped one of the supporting forks on the T500 RS.

(sorry for the sub-par quality)

Ironically this is the second time it has been snapped, this time it came off even with very strong plastic adhesive. What would you guys suggest is the best way to fix it, or can you get a replacement?
 
Call Thrustmaster. Don't let them screw you on the replacement price. They are generally really good about this stuff, sometimes great even. However, their price for replacement parts seems to vary... Yes, it's odd.
 
Googling the issue I found hard mounting is a thing, could I possibly forego the clamp entirely and mount the wheel directly onto the desk? Is this difficult?

I don't mind poking holes through the (cheap, ikea) desk if it means I can game again!
 
Yes, of course. It's much better to hard mount it anyhow. Check the manual, it has the bolt layout in it as well as the bolt sizes.
