Hi Guys,
I'm hoping a kind soul can supply some advice. I've been around this forum and the web and seen some stunning F1 wheel replicas. I've built a few wheels myself but for my own racecars - nowhere near as complex (or as pretty!) as the F1 wheels I've seen here but useful and functional in a motorsport sense. I'm starting a new project and I want to build an F1esque wheel for the car, to this end I'm fitting paddles for the shift system. However, I can't find the style of paddle I'm looking for in the motorsport arena, to add to that the ones you do find there are ridiculous money - usually 500UKP or so for a couple of microswitches.
I was tempted to just buy an off-the-shelf gaming wheel and rip out the paddleshift mech but again, I haven't found one I like the look and feel of yet.
The F1 replica wheels I've seen have the style of mechanism I'm really looking for but I can't find where to purchase them - I only really need the switchgear/paddles. Can a helpful person point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Graeme.
