Designed and built in a day from 5 layers of 5mm acrylic. I have incorporated the innards of a logitech dual action game-pad into the wheel to gain control of as many functions as possible, while still maintaining the original buttons, and utilizing the original gear shift paddles.
The wheel performs excellently and is very comfortable to use.
the project was very cheap, as I used spare acrylic, and already had the controllers. The only costs were 8 euro for the bike handle grips, and 6 euro for 5mm countersunk bolts and associated drill bits.
tools used were a drill, and a jigsaw, and a 5mm tap to create the threads in the back panel and r440 stock for screwing the whole thing together
I admit that in it's initial form, it is somewhat lacking in visual appearance, but this would not require too much extra work.
let me know what you think??
