Right, because those are the negatives, while the ones without gold underneath the entire thing are the actual resistors. There are really only THREE sets of resistors, as each one has a + and - connection. Truly you could just bend the brushes on the ones without gold underneath them and get the same effect, but you should do them all for consistency as you want them all to be at the same height so they rub the same.


I have to say, you are impressing the Hell out of me. What do you do for a living?

I know. It got so bad that they took that blown stang on a tour of Nam to educate the boys on how to drive them. They even raced it down the flight deck of the MidwayI believe. That car sold on ebay a few years back. It was still a monster. They took 3 of em over there, but wrecked 2 of them. Helocoptor dropped one of them.
Ah the LAWMAN! Truly one bad ass Stang in every sense of the word. Goldberg (former wrestler?) owns the sole remaining Lawman now. The thing sounds almost like a Nitro Funny Car[8D]

That's it. I remember it was blue. Did he buy it off of ebay? I didn't stay with the auction to see if it brought the reserve. Imagine that thing flying down a flightdeck.

Lets see. Bend wipers. No thanks.
Install a new travel stop so the relaxed
travel is a few mm less. Hmmmmmm
Sounds like a better way instead of
bending wipers. Soon the carbon will
be worn away from too much pressure
from misbent wipers. Forget the lag,
how about the new dead spots and
undesired quirky response from missing
resistance material?
Put a travel stop on mine and now its
fully micro adjustable with no bending
of wipers. Hows that for a modified mod?

I don't see how bending the brushes so that they come out farther will make any differene in wear of the resistance material. It will probably make a difference after 500,000 miles. If it does before, then I'll buy a new pedal, its 44$.

The instant throttle response is worth it to me.

I agree. What's $44? It may wear, I repeat MAY wear more if the actual tips of the wipers (brushes) were rubbing on the carbon instead of the smoothness of the long part of them. Sort of like rubbing a cactus needle against your hand, or rubbing your hand against the actual point. Depends on how sharp-hard the tips are or how soft-hard the carbon is. Gotta be somewhat hard (carbon) for repeated use.
