Need recommendations for new pedals

I can't find the link,

but is pretty easy. There are a bunch of screws in the base of the
pedals. You remove all those and the whole bottom just pops right
off. You take two tennis balls and it will be painfully evident where
they go (right underneath the pedals). There is a large plastic thing
that looks like a road construction cone. Some people recommend
cutting it off. I drilled a hole in the tennis balls to fit over that
plastic thing.

There is nothing you can break. It takes a bit to get the base back
on cause those tennis balls are tight. But they do provide a nice
firm feel to the pedals and the tennis balls take all the stress off
those cheap springs they stuck in there.

Google around and you may be able to find the link. Or check over at
RaceSimCentral. I think that's where i first saw it.

I used to use the perf pedals and I modded em but I cant find the link I
used anywhere. I do have this link but it looked a bit more complicated
than the route I took. http://homepage.mac.com/glhs/actpedals/

If ya want I can pop off the bottom cover take a few pics and email em to ya
to get an idea. It was cheap, readily available at a local hardware store
and would last.
