I'm not familiar with Saitek rudders, do they have both push "toes" axis and a "slide forward or backward" axis?

For example, can you push the toes of the rudders forward independently of sliding the rudders forward and backward?

Should be able to map the left and right brakes to each toe pedal, and then map the Z axis to the rudder left/right.

Not possible because each brake uses a different axis X and Y and rudder uses one axis Z.

If you contact Saitek, they will mail you a reinforcement kit along with installation instructions.

Mine disappeared before I had a chance to install it (long story) and Saitek refused to mail me a second kit, so I was able to correct it myself using some epoxy and a couple of small bolts.  Works like a charm now and won't come off track anymore.  If nothing else, you should be able to pop it back on track and get some more life out of them...  All you really have to do is remove the 2 billion screws from the base of the unit (including the four behind the center four rubber feet) and pull the panel off and you'll see what it takes to fix them.
