    There are some different load cell conversion kits for the Logitech G27 or T500RS pedal, p.ex. from ricmotech. Does anyone build up a DIY version brake pedal using any load cells and if so where can I find compounds needed for building with?

    im considering doing a diy to my brake and aplying a load cell....atm i have the nixim mod.

    Researching i found (what it seems) the exact model used on ricmotech.com load cell mod:

    http://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDeta...=sGAEpiMZZMvDU9HV27FC0fgNXcIVcGB0TkeF0SpIgzE=

    But the price on that is a bit high so i tried to find some other solutions and found this one:

    http://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Measurement-Specialties/FX19-0-1-0001-0100-L/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvDU9HV27FC0SNYwnIdM84WzaF/bkcxOnw=

    With a few tweaks i can fit it in the brake cylinder, my question is...do you guys know if i can use this last one? Im a programmer so my knowledge on electronics isnt that great.

    Im looking at less than 50€ for the complete mod wich is really good, unless i have to use the 64€ model
