Heusinkveld Pro Pedals!

After doing some research I decided to go with the Pros. Just didn't feel I needed hydraulic pedals with 155kg load cells, hehe.

 

[Kinger]

Welcome to the club! You will love them!

 

[Fromthenavy]

You're going to love them man! I'm glad I went with the base plate aswell really made installing pretty easy, plus the board screws in underneath to make it really tidy.

 

[Deb]

Awesome! The Pros are great, I think you will love them. I would definitely order the base plate as well.

 

[Brainling]

They don't mess around with shipping...they get here Thursday! Weekend of racing here I come.

 

[Kinger]

I too am using the base plate as that seemed the easiest way to get them mounted to my 80/20 rig. I could have mounted them individually to the rails I suppose, but then I wouldn't have really had a place to rest my feet.

 

[Brainling]

They got here nice and safe, all bolted together and plugged in now. One thing I noticed, and wasn't expecting, is that the brake pedal has just a touch of lateral flex? As in, if I put weight on the top of the pedal, I can feel the brake pedal moving ever so slightly. Has anyone else noticed that? I have them bolted down as safe as I dare, so I don't think it's that. I've checked all the spacers and such they seem bolted in tight.

 

[Deb]

I have not noticed that but I may not be able to apply as much pressure as you can.

 

[Brainling]

Can you reach down and wiggle your brake pedal for me? Does it move at all, or is it basically completely solid? Specifically movement in the mechanism/arm, not the pedal plate itself. Mine seems to move in the mechanism just a couple millimeters to each side. I don't notice when driving, but at the cost I paid for these I want a set that's 100% in line with what they are supposed to be. This may be within tolerances, I'm just not sure.

 

[Brainling]

I made a terrible YouTube video, with an almost total thumb eclipse dead in the middle, to show what I mean:

 

[Kinger]

Mine are very similar. Of the 3 pedals the brake pedal has the most lateral movement in my set.

 

[Deb]

On mine, the throttle has virtually no lateral play, but the brake pedal has some, looks like a little less than yours. I don't have a clutch.

 

[Brainling]

Okay, that makes me feel a bit better. I have an email in to Heusinkveld just to be 100% sure, but I'm feeling more comfortable that it's within spec. I would imagine set to set the tolerances will be slightly different

My clutch and throttle have almost no play, but the brake does as you see. I don't feel it while I'm driving at all.

 

[Brainling]

So Heusinkveld emailed me back this morning. They aren't happy with the amount of play in my brake pedal and are shipping me a new one next week. That's pretty incredible customer service. No muss, no fuss, just "We're not happy with that, we'll ship you a new peddle next week".

 

[SavreticD]

The best customer support, never in my life I experienced that good support
Btw I don't have that play in pedals and congrats, pedals are awesome

 

[Deb]

I know, those guys are great!!!! Too bad Simxperience isn't like that.

 

[Jeeve79]

u should see the lateral play on my G25 pedals mate lol
that does make u wonder how hard it can be to engineer just a brake pedal.
great after sale service i must say, do it again for clutch and throttle and send me the "bad" ones
